Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

--We advocate for the CSU

--We represent the interests of our alumni at the system level

--We facilitate the growth and development of our member associations to engage alumni

Advocate for the CSU: Partner with stakeholders, Provide advocacy tools to Alumni Council members, Enhance CSU reputation

Represent the Interests of Alumni at the System Level: Engage with stakeholders, Enhance visibility of CSU Alumni Council, Alumni Trustee representation

Facilitate the Growth and Development of Member Associations to Engage Alumni: Support Graduation Initiative 2025, Organizational development of the CSU Alumni Council and campus alumni associations

-The Alumni Council is uniquely positioned as the systemwide entity to provide centralized services and programs to benefit each of our campus alumni associations as well as our work at the system level.

-Campus dues, sponsorships, meeting registration fees and investment income provide stable revenue streams to offer professional development programs, advocacy activities and promote alumni engagement.

-As the recognized voice of the CSU alumni associations before the Board of Trustees, the Alumni Council has unique messaging opportunities to share the needs, successes and impact of our alumni programs on the success of the university and today's students.

-Partnerships with other systemwide organizations representing key constituencies (i.e. Academic Senate CSU, California State Student Association) provide the opportunity to work collaboratively on important projects and initiatives.

-Our healthy reserve account allows us flexibility to put additional resources toward key initiatives.

Progress has been made in the following areas:

-Leverage the identity and brand of the CSU. We have continued to showcase alumni at the CSU Board of Trustees meetings. This touches on several areas including raising the profile of the CSU Alumni Council.

-Engage alumni via systemwide events. We have offered numerous systemwide regional events domestically and internationally to alumni of all 23 campuses.

-We have supported Graduation Initiative 2025 through a focus on alumni support of students related to basic needs and career preparation.
