The De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Alumni Association proudly welcomed representatives from the Philippine Normal University for a meaningful benchmarking visit, reaffirming the growing recognition of the Association as a strong and credible model in alumni engagement, relationship-building, and organizational development. The visit was not only an opportunity to exchange ideas, but also a powerful affirmation of the work the Benilde Alumni Association has steadily built over the years in creating a dynamic, service-oriented, and future-ready alumni community.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Association was honored to receive Dr. Maria Glenda De Lara, Dir. Bryan Dayuta, Dir. Jenny Malitao, Ms. Ma. Lean N. Sicada, and Ms. Lorraine Anne D. Bukas of Philippine Normal University. Their presence highlighted the value of collaboration among academic institutions that share the same commitment to strengthening alumni relations and building systems that create lasting impact beyond graduation. The benchmarking activity served as a productive platform for dialogue, sharing of best practices, and meaningful conversations on how alumni associations can become stronger partners in institutional growth, community-building, and lifelong engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, the Benilde Alumni Association has continued to position itself as more than just an alumni office or network. It has evolved into a strategic and active community that nurtures lifelong connection, school pride, service, and shared purpose among Benildeans across different generations. Through its programs, events, partnerships, alumni database initiatives, homecomings, recognition activities, chapter development efforts, and support for institutional initiatives, the Association has demonstrated that alumni relations can be both meaningful and transformational. It is this kind of direction and commitment that has made the Association a valuable benchmark for other institutions seeking to strengthen their own alumni ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes the Benilde Alumni Association a strong benchmark is its ability to balance tradition with innovation. It continues to preserve the pride, values, and identity of being Benildean, while also responding to the changing needs of alumni communities today. From organizing purposeful engagements to strengthening alumni records, building industry and institutional linkages, supporting scholars, and activating partnerships that benefit both alumni and the College, the Association has shown that a modern alumni organization must be both relational and strategic. It must create not only moments of celebration, but also platforms for service, leadership, and long-term value creation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The benchmarking visit also reflects how Benilde continues to contribute to the broader educational community by opening its doors for collaboration and knowledge-sharing. In welcoming PNU, the Benilde Alumni Association embraced the spirit of service and partnership, recognizing that best practices become even more meaningful when shared with others who are also committed to nation-building through education. It is through these kinds of engagements that institutions learn from one another, strengthen their respective systems, and create wider impact in the communities they serve.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benilde Alumni Association extends its sincere gratitude to Philippine Normal University for choosing the Association as one of its benchmarking partners. The visit is both an honor and an inspiration, reminding the Association to continue raising the bar in alumni engagement, organizational excellence, and meaningful service. It also reflects the trust being placed in the Association\u2019s direction, programs, and leadership as it continues to grow as a benchmark of excellence in the alumni relations space.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Special thanks as well to Sir Neil Pari\u00f1as for his support in helping make this visit possible and meaningful. Moments like this affirm that when institutions come together with openness, professionalism, and a shared desire to learn, stronger communities and better systems are built.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benilde Alumni Association remains committed to being a partner in building bridges, strengthening connections, and championing alumni engagement that is relevant, responsive, and rooted in purpose. As it continues to move forward, it proudly carries the responsibility of being not only a home for Benildeans, but also a benchmark of what a strong, active, and mission-driven alumni association can be.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
