When Your Alumni Council Is Wilting

Is your alumni board unfocused and overworked? Here’s how one independent school cast some sunlight upon its stagnant council and cultivated a mission-driven, thriving group.

In 2011, the Alumni/ae Council at St. Paul Academy and Summit School in Minnesota was nearly nonexistent. Other than holding monthly meetings and a lackluster fundraising phonathon, the council sponsored no programs or events; it did not follow its bylaws and had no reporting structure or processes for recruiting new members. Most of the 11 council members were suffering from volunteer fatigue, particularly the president. Few members attended meetings, which were unproductive. The council frequently discussed the need to recruit new members but never developed an action plan.

Putting Success in Succession Planning

Ohio State’s advancement head Michael Eicher shares why and how he grooms his senior staff for the ultimate position—his job

Succession planning is as prevalent in the corporate world as balance sheets and annual reports. Corporate boards want to keep business churning after the sudden departure of key executives, so identifying and grooming potential replacements is common practice. The concept hasn't taken off in advancement, but given the department's critical roles in building external relationships and generating resources, the topic is gaining traction.
