Thanksgiving Wishes from ICAA

In this brief issue, we give thanks for YOU, our members who keep the independent college advancement community in our region vibrant and connected. Your enthusiasm, insights and willingness to share your expertise on our platforms and at events is what keeps the ICAA mission alive.

This year presents challenges to observing our favorite traditions and gatherings, both at our institutions and in our lives outside of work. While this holiday may be smaller and quieter for many of us, we hope it will be full of gratitude, warmth and hope for the future.

We look forward to seeing you on December 8 for the ICAA Fall Workshop, Reimagining Alumni Metrics: A Holistic, Collaborative Approach. In the meantime, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.  

 

Greetings from the ICAA President!

BEAU SLATER

Director of Development for Dicke College of Business Administration

Ohio Northern University

 

My membership in ICAA started 6 years ago and has been one of the best professional development experiences that I could have imagined. Through ICAA there have been numerous different educational opportunities that have helped hone my skill set and expand my knowledge of advancement in private higher education.

These opportunities are the cornerstone for all of the good work that ICAA does on an annual basis from the workshops to the summer conference. Going beyond that cornerstone you’ll find a deep network of professionals that you can call upon to find shared experiences at similar institutions. This network gives us a better perspective from a diverse set of voices in our field. All of which is in our collective ICAA backyard.

This year I am honored to serve as president of this organization. The entire volunteer team that serves on the executive committee and summer conference committee is dedicated to providing the best content possible for our member institutions. We want to drive the conversation and move advancement in private higher education forward.

Thank you for choosing to be a member of ICAA. Your choice is what allows us to continue providing educational opportunities. We are grateful that you are a member. During these uncertain times, it's refreshing to know for certain that ICAA remains committed to providing you the best educational content delivered in new ways with familiar faces. I look forward to seeing you at future programming events both virtually and in person.
