Internal Team Pre-kickoff Meeting Notes (6/7/11)
In attendance: Julie Chiron, Bill Moudry, Sharon Bradford, Chris Wilczak, Reneé Finnell
All,
Thank you for participating in that brief call. This was an introduction of our internal team and how we anticipate communicating and collaborating for the AlumniMagnet implementation. Here are my notes from the call.
- The official kick-off of this implementation will take place on or around July 1, when the contract with AlumniMagnet is finalized and in force.
- Julie introduced the AlumniMagnet Implementation Team (AMIT). Renee Finnell with discuss with Alumni Relations who the best person will be to coordinate AR involvement in the project. In addition, she will speak with Matt, Eric and Annie about their involvement as stakeholders and let Julie know who we will include in the stakeholder list. We will be also adding Lisa Ballard and possibly Stephanie Veit as stakeholders. Julie will send out the revised AMIT document once these stakeholders have been identified.
- One topic of interest will be how payments for registrations and donations made through AlumniMagnet will be handled. The adoption of this software may open up the discussion of Club fund management to include a structure that is different from the current model.
- We are targeting the main announcement of AlumniMagnet to our alumni to happen at Volunteer Caucus in October.
- We will have a blog for internal communications which should be live by July 1st. This will be an important tool for sharing information has maintaining transparency in the implementation process.
- The meeting with AlumniMagnet this afternoon will be a chance for us to hear from AM about the new features. They will also provide us with some high-level information regarding implementing AM and talk about initial learning, which should help us think about our strategy as we approach the kick-off.
If there is anything I have missed, please let me know. I look forward to working with all of you.
Regards,
Bill
