In spite of being a breakthrough woman leader in her previous career, after a year at Durham University, Penny realised to her horror that almost all the panellists at the alumni events that she had organised had been white men. This presentation outlines how she used awareness and data to be more inclusive, build a network of international chapters and events more reflective of the Business School's staff and students and work with colleagues to build a balanced international advisory board and more representative honorary appointments. She'll also outline her ambitions for neurodiversity in education. If you're feeling overwhelmed by EDI initiatives this session will help you to understand how integrating equality diversity and inclusion in your work can improve its quality and impact.

How do you ensure a successful global fundraising strategy that maximises international Alumni Relations and builds a strong pipeline of global Recruitment?

We all have ‘connectors’ in our portfolios – people who aren’t going to support our institution philanthropically for now, but who are willing to help our institutions in other ways. Sometimes, we can be guilty of giving these valuable relationships lower billing as we work on our prospects who are likely to make a gift in the short term. This session will look at how we can make the most of our connectors, taking a deep dive into the science of network mapping as our speakers share success stories and tips on maximising these important relationships.
