Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement

Plan for continuous improvement For future FY's the Development office in the division of University Advancement will continue to improve communication with current alumni, donors, and friends. In 2008-2009 a prospect management committee was formed consisting of Advancement & Development staff. The committee continues to meet twice monthly to identify potential donors, plan and discuss cultivation strategies. Development staff attended CASE conference attending sessions with emphasis in their areas in the development office. The Development office works closely with other university departments and colleges to help facilitate meetings, tours and events for graduates in their areas. As the completion of the capital campaign nears, continued emphasis will be placed on expanding the donor base while successfully cultivating and soliciting major donor prospects.
