Strategy & Action Meetings

Over the last few weeks we have held a series of planning meetings with Alumni.  They have been really well attended and have resulted in some clear direction for ICA Alumni going forward.

We are currently synthesizing and interpreting the thoughts and feelings of the graduates who have attended over the last 3 weeks.

We will be releasing a draft Alumni strategy within the next 10 days for comment and consultation and we expect to see structures and services established in the weeks following that.

Alumni Global Networking Meetings

These meetings will be temporarily put on hold until the Alumni Strategy is released.

****PLEASE NOTE - NEW BRIDGE LINE FOR ALL ALUMNI CALLS****
