Webinar: Building an Impactful Alumni Programme for International Schools

International schools increasingly recognise the longterm value of an engaged alumni community—but many lack the staff, budget, or time to build a fully developed programme across multiple geographies. The good news? A meaningful, effective alumni network doesn’t require a large team or expensive systems. It requires clarity, strategy, and smart prioritisation. 

In this webinar, Karen Cairney, CEO of Cairney & Company will explore how international schools can design and grow an alumni programme that is sustainable, communitycentred, and achievable—even with minimal resources. Participants will learn how to establish a clear purpose, build foundational data, and create simple engagement pathways that work for globally dispersed graduates. Whether your school is taking the first steps or looking to refine an existing approach, this webinar will equip you with the frameworks, ideas, and confidence to build an alumni programme that works—no matter your resource level.
