Secaucus Public Education Foundation of Secaucus, New Jersey, Relies on Alumni Channel’s Online Alumni Community Solution to Connect with Alumni Across the World
3/4/2011
CHERRY HILL, N.J. – Alumni Channel, a web provider of online alumni communities for schools and other non-profit organizations, announced today that the Secaucus Public Education Foundation of Secaucus, New Jersey, is relying on the company’s online community solution to develop closer relationships with its alumni.
Foundation board members Hardik Shah and Dora Marra, made a commitment to begin implementation of the Alumni Channel for their online alumni community. Secaucus High School alumni represent an alliance of thousands of Secaucus HS graduates across the United States and worldwide. With a growing base of graduates, the foundation wanted to cultivate stronger bonds with and among alumni that would lay the foundation for fundraising in support of critical programs such as scholarships and an endowment. The Foundation needed a technology solution that would enrich its existing Web site while reducing costs associated with direct mailings. This would enable the Foundation to provide an interactive, customized experience for each visitor, including opportunities to connect with each other, view school and class events, and eventually make online donations.
In an effort to help clients get better use of their community we are announcing a new data import service that will drastically reduce the amount of time and effort to get new records (e.g. graduates) into our online communities each year.
We anticipate this service will be most useful for organizations that have recurring new members on an annual basis and might have had trouble in the past getting these members to sign up on their own. This service will now avoid any uncertainty regarding if, and how many, new members will register on their own.
Customers using the Upcoming Events feature will be pleased to notice they can now offer to their members an RSVP for each event. Simple to use, the RSVP feature allows members to indicate ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Maybe’ for an event. This information is then available to community administrators via a download report. We hope this feature will go a long way in keeping alumni engaged and online longer at each of our customer communities.
