You may feel a bit of relief after a job well done pulling off a class reunion. However, while the aftermath of the event is nowhere near as busy as the planning stage can be, it’s still the time to bolster alumni relations. With a few key steps, you’ll both honor the success of the present moment and create a roadmap to ensure the community thrives in the future.

3 Essential Steps After a Class Reunion

1. Feature Photos & Videos

Now that the festivities have ended, it’s time to memorialize them. Posting photos and videos on the alumni website and social media channels gives attendees a chance to relive the fun by spying their favorite moments. The display may also spark the interest of alumni who didn’t come this time, encouraging them to stop by the next class reunion.

2. Debrief With the Planning Committee

After the major job of planning a class reunion, reward the staff with a little after-party or get-together. In addition to serving as a celebration for a job well done, the gathering is a valuable opportunity to discuss the big event. You can all discuss what went well, what didn’t, and what you may want to change for next time. 

3. Update Master Contact List

The chief purpose of any alumni organization is to help members maintain their relationships with the school. In that vein, class reunions are often treasure troves of updated information since attendees will provide updated contact information in the process of RSVPing and attending the event. After updating the master contact list, send it to attendees and all alumni, so they have a better tool to keep in contact. 

If your class reunion just ended, consult the specialists at Saint Louis Alumni Association in Honolulu, HI, to create a master plan for the upcoming weeks and months. Founded in 1907, the community organization will even help you host your next event with their spacious and elegant clubhouse.
