Bio
Alura McMorran
Allison’s ability to command a room and get people on board with her ideas is truly inspiring and something I have always looked up to. I met Allison while working in the Advancement Office at Bishop’s University, where we worked together on various fundraising projects, alumni events, and social media campaigns. Allison does not only give her 100% to the job she is doing, but she goes above and beyond to help everyone else on the team. Allison is a great mentor and someone I know I can always turn to for questions or advice. I have witnessed Allison leave a lasting impression on the Bishop’s University community through her fundraising and alumni efforts. For example, with Allison’s leadership, the Advancement Office was able to provide 1 in 4 students with free breakfast during exam season in a campaign known as Dewies On Me. More so, Allison has spearheaded the organization of engaging and meaningful alumni events on and off campus, such as Homecoming, Welcome Home Events and Convocation. Whether through her work with students, alumni or volunteering in the Lennoxville community, Allison puts passion and hard work into everything she does. She is an inspiration to work with and I can confidently say any organization would be lucky to have Allison on board.

Allison is wonderful to work with and has exceptional expertise and creativity in social media, donor communications, and alumni relations. I have had the pleasure of working with Allison for seven years during which we have worked together to create the best experience for the alumni of Bishop’s University. Above all, I am always impressed with Allison’s ability to find a solution where others cannot. She is a joy to work with, would be a great addition to any team, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
