2009 AAS Web Series – We want to hear from you!

In putting together the upcoming schedule for the 2009 AAS Web Series, we would like to identify the areas of alumni engagement you would be most interested in learning more about.  The focus of our web presentations is to address current trends in alumni attitudes and opinion to help better identify the needs of alumni in today’s economy.  The Alumni Attitude Study’s research encompasses the specific areas of alumni engagement (communication, programs, loyalty, etc) that play an integral role in the success of the institution and its alumni. 

As we move forward to confirm dates for the upcoming presentations, we would appreciate your assistance by providing your opinion on what topics would be most valuable to you.   

Below is a link to a survey that identifies the presentations available through the 2009 AAS Web Series.  Please let us know your preferences on the proposed titles.  We will compose a final schedule based on the results of the survey. 

Thank you in advance for your time and participation.

“You’ll be interested to know that I continue to receive compliments about your presentation on alumni attitudes. In my former life as a corporate executive, I heard dozens and dozens of these kinds of attitude surveys. Too often, we got raw data – no helpful analysis on what we ought to learn from the data. You presented 'actionable research.' We’ll make good use of it. ”
