The ISM Advancement Academy 2024 brought together leaders in enrollment management, development, and marketing communications, alongside school heads, for a week of impactful learning and strategic planning. Attendees engaged in powerful sessions designed to strengthen advancement efforts and left with a clear action plan for the upcoming school year.
During the Academy, I participated in insightful breakout sessions, including How to Create a Robust Alumni Program, Leadership Giving for the Annual Fund, Next Level Listening, and Building a Case for Giving. These sessions provided valuable strategies and best practices to enhance engagement and philanthropy at our school.
Additionally, the Academy featured a dedicated Mentoring Group, where we met throughout the week to set goals, exchange ideas, and develop actionable steps tailored to our individual school needs. The experience was both inspiring and practical, equipping me with new tools and perspectives to elevate our advancement efforts in the year ahead.
