Workshop: Return on Investment (ROI)

In our research, corporate alumni programs have similar goals, but less than half are able to demonstrate specific results.

How do alumni programs contribute to company goals? What are some easy wins, creative processes, and opportunities that others are using to achieve success? Additionally, what are some of the challenges these programs face?

Groups will work together to share their experiences, ask questions, learn from and help each other, and brainstorm creative ways to work through common barriers.   

  • 4:00-4:15pm

Wrap up and walk to Cedric’s at the Shed

  • 4:30-6:30pm

Happy Hour – Food & Drinks
