At its Feb. 15 meeting, the NMU Board of Trustees approved moving Alumni Relations operations and reporting from the Extended Learning and Community Engagement Division to the NMU Foundation. According to the NMU Foundation, this realignment represents an important step in a larger restructuring effort establishing a holistic team-driven approach to advancement in preparation for the upcoming fundraising campaign.
Newly formed working teams for Major Gifts, Annual Giving, Alumni Engagement, Donor Engagement and Corporate Engagement will create greater opportunities to build and maintain enduring, multifaceted and mutually beneficial relationships with NMU's alumni, donors and business and organizational partners. In addition, the restructuring will help advance Foundation efforts to provide the most efficient and effective use of institutional and philanthropic resources.
