Please help us have a better session at the CASE Summit this year in New York. Our session, Re-envisioning Alumni Associations for the 21st Century, will be from 1:00PM to 2:15PM on Sunday July 18. As part of the discussion, we have opened a page at: http://alumniattitudestudy.org/summit10/ where we talk about the issues, provide some reading material, and ask several questions. Please help us by taking a few minutes to answer the questions and join in on this conversation about planning and taking action from those plans. We promise to respond to your post and to provide anybody that posts a comment a brief of the presentation and what was covered during the session.
