TPAS Case Studies: Building a Thriving Alumni Program — Sandstone Care

When the alumni program at Sandstone Care first began, it was little more than a concept without structure or direction. With no established framework or dedicated resources, the program consisted of a list of former clients from the past two years—and the challenge to transform it into something meaningful. It was a starting point filled with uncertainty and the need for guidance.TPAS Executive Director, Gina de Peralta Thorne, MS sat down with Kelly Butzer, Sandstone Care Alumni Manager to glean from her experience building a thriving alumni program from the group up (with a lot of help from the TPAS community!)
