2026/2027 Event Schedule
Looking to consider a possible event in fall.
Hannah has free consultant hours that she will use to bring in a development consultant to talk to us about an annual fund.
Jeff H mentioned that it might be in our best efforts to take a longer-term view of alumni engagement and start trying to keep them connected right after graduation without the monetary ask. Talked about adding a dodgeball style event (possibly wiffleball) in the fall that would attract recent grads as a way to, long term, keep alumni involved in the school that would eventually lead to donations.
Jeff L brought up the idea of honoring past volunteers, Will provide a framework for the next meeting.
F.
Social Media Strategy for 2026/27
Meeting was held with UTEC on 2/9 to begin exploration of possible working relationship to craft and execute on an enhancement to our social media outreach.
