The workshop will consist of two seminars:
Advancement and Alumni: Are You Maximizing
Your Online Results? presented by Thomas
A. DeBacco
How little is too little? How much is too much? When
developing a complete online strategy, it is essential
to know when, where, and how often to connect with
your constituents. Gain ideas on leveraging e-mail
marketing, great data segmentation, strategic social
media usage, complete event and donation promotion,
and a strong website, so your institution can gain
tangible, bottom line results. During this presentation,
you’ll also discover ways other institutions
have developed strong online strategies to build affinity
with their alumni and friends.
Hawaii’s Economic Future: Successful
or Sinking? presented by Dr. Paul H. Brewbaker
Hawaii’s economic outlook has gone from robust – following
a severe overshoot – to something more “squishy” (technical
term). Sustaining moderate economic growth seems more
problematic now than just a few months ago. In the
longer term, where is Hawaii’s economy going?
Will Hawaii sustain economic growth at or above the
national norm? Will the politics of NIMBY meet Superferry
improve or dampen the outlook? The high school class
of 2020 is already off and running – will they
bail out our social security or add to our welfare
rolls? Join us to figure it all out.
Communications, marketing, alumni relations, development/fundraising
professionals, administratiors, and information technology
professionals from non-profit organizations, independent
schools, community colleges, and universities/colleges.
