STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 360Alumni, the strategically advanced, intuitive and easy-to-manage alumni engagement and fundraising solution, is a 2016 Edison Awards finalist. Former web developer turned product innovator, founder and CEO of 360Alumni, Christina Balotescu, has been connecting people with technology solutions for more than 20 years.
A champion of change in alumni relations, Balotescu says: "There is a huge potential to strengthen connections between alumni and their parent organization - if you give them the keys to the network they've invested in."
360Alumni is the only CRM solution that empowers alumni to create their own events, groups, lists, and job posts. "Universities need to provide ongoing value to alumni to stay relevant," Balotescu stresses. "Today, it's all about what you can do for your alumni.
