Join the SSA Alumni Network Today–Featuring a New Tool For Alumni Businesses

 

Now more than ever, we look for ways to connect with our communities virtually. The SSA Alumni Network gives you an opportunity to locate your fellow SSA alumni and invite them to join you in the virtual network. Visit the Stay Connected webpage for instructions on how to download and register today. 

 

Today we are launching a new tool in our network for a limited time to help alumni business owners through this crisis. Watch this short video to help you post your business. The Business Directory feature allows registered users to:

  • Post your business using an easy, prompted form
  • Offer special benefits to other network members
  • Search by free text, category, or location, for other businesses and services that you may be able to support

 

We hope this tool gives you an opportunity to support each other.
