Are you passionate about fostering strategic partnerships in higher education? Join us for an open, interactive conversation designed to foster connection, spark insight, and build community. This casual 45-minute meetup will unite those who champion strategic partnerships across IT and the enterprise. Together, we’ll discuss how BRM is structured and evolving at our institutions; challenges and lessons learned in building trust and demonstrating value; tips for gaining executive support and stakeholder buy-in; and what the BRM Community Group can do to better support members.
