EVENT CATALOG FOR BLUE CHAPTERS

This Catalog is a collection of past email blasts that supported Blue Chapter outreach efforts and events. The events represented here were successful in attracting attendees and representing the mission of the Franklin & Marshall Regional Chapters program.

Past events included here have utilized the connections of local alumni and trustees to access unique program opportunities and have targeted a variety of audiences through the attractions offered. They were planned by local volunteers in partnership with staff from the College’s Alumni & Parent Relations office.

For more information about any of these events and to get started planning activities in your area, please contact Aimee Achorn Fasnacht in Alumni & Parent Relations at [email protected] or (717) 358-4719.

BREAK-EVEN EVENTS

Generally speaking, events that break even in terms of cost are simpler to plan logistically and can be ready to promote more quickly. They also require less promotion lead time, because of the limited financial exposure involved.

The costs of the events represented here were fully covered by attendee registration fees. Where noted, an alumnus or trustee helped to obtain a venue or attraction at a reduced price or at no cost.

FLAGSHIP EVENTS

Flagship events represent our highest quality Regional Chapter programs, and they are usually more complex logistically. They should be planned 4-6 months in advance and promoted 2-3 months in advance, to allow F&M Friends ample opportunity to participate.

The events represented here required funding beyond the income generated by registration fees to pay for space rental, faculty travel and other large costs.

The cost of these events were covered by a combination of PEP Award funding, attendee registration fees, financial contributions from the Alumni & Parent Relations office and contributions from alumni and trustees (where noted).

PEP (Premier Event Programming) awards are made available by the Alumni Association Board’s Chapters Committee through an application process. Alumni Association Board members who serve on local Chapter Councils and staff of the College’s Alumni & Parent Relations office can assist local Chapter volunteers in applying for this funding.
