For many institutions, alumni do not stay local to their alma mater. When considering emerging trends and best practices, there are many ways that institutions can engage with their geographically distant alumni. During this presentation, we will explore how to rebuild, reactivate and revitalize your regional alumni engagement after a year of virtual experiences and varying covid policies. We will address big questions about the future of regional engagement efforts, local clubs, and emerging technologies in engagement trends in order to connect with alumni in a meaningful way no matter where they live.
