Corporate Alumni builds, manages and hosts online alumni communities where former business colleagues can renew relationships and network. Job postings and newsletter and site sponsorships support the expenses of running the group.

In each Corporate Alumni community, members participate in running the group. Corporate Alumni acts as the community manager and trusted intermediary among members and those who wish to access them. Our communities are comprised of savvy people who realize the power of maintaining their contacts and building their professional networks. In fact, our online communities are often started by volunteers or leaders of pre-existing alumni groups.

Corporate Alumni leverages the power of the Internet and the experience of its own community management staff. We enable you to rapidly and efficiently establish and maintain an alumni community. Corporate Alumni knows you have a day job, so we provide ongoing management, training, and support to help you build membership and ensure your community's longevity.
