Role:  Director of Communications

Challenge

The University of Minnesota Alumni Association (UMAA) is a membership-funded organization that serves half a million alumni of the U of M’s Twin Cities and Rochester campuses with career services, legislative advocacy, social and professional events, and support for alumni-owned businesses. 

Ensuring that alumni are aware of the Alumni Association’s purpose and value is an ongoing challenge because the community is large, spans five generations, and is dispersed around the world.

As the communications director, I created strategies that raised awareness about the UMAA’s purpose, value, and outcomes. In addition, I performed all media outreach and rapid response/crisis communications and led the communications team in producing tactics.
