In addition, the Alumni directory would be the most valuable on-line feature. They are not interested in fundraising news or quotes. The Internet is a low cost and easy method of keeping Alumni up to date on issues that concern and interest them. Further, their interest may also allow opportunities for two way communication so LRI could continue to collect information and opinions from its alumni base. Like programming ideas, none of the event areas generate exceptionally strong interest.
Interest is highest for issue-oriented events and community development events.
However when asked to compare the value of services, the Alumni directory and newsletter are valuable to many Alumni, and events and seminars are less valuable to Alumni. Question 23 lists several workshop topics. More recent graduates are more interested in all topic areas compared to earlier graduates. Their top 3 interests are negotiation, conflict resolution, and creativity. There is low interest overall for LRI to conduct leadership training and development workshops for organizations' staffs at the workplace.
