Anyone’s university, private school (K-12, 6-12, 9-12), or nonprofit have a great strategic plan you wouldn’t mind sharing?

Just wrapped an awesome convo with Chris Rapozo for his Education Marketing Leader podcast on how Advancement MarComm teams can evolve from being service providers to true strategic partners.

Excited to share the episode in early January when it kicks off his 3rd season!
