Harnessing the power of your alumni network during a crisis
In today’s environment, business development can be challenging. So, there’s never been a better time to learn just how powerful the contact data of your LexisNexis® InterAction® really is! This includes former members of your firm and former staff—any one of them could be your next business lead.
InterAction, IntraWorlds and a client panel that includes Hogan Lovells, Sidley Austin LLP, and Milbank LLP discussed the roles alumni programs are playing during this pandemic, creative ways to engage and involve alumni, and the importance of networking systems connecting to each other for an effective communication.
