From our members

HighEdWeb is a community for digital professionals by digital professionals.
It’s a great place to meet and learn from people you otherwise wouldn’t have been connected to. You not only get to learn from them, but you also get to contribute to the body of knowledge. By participating, you help create a community and invaluable learning experience for others.
Taku Mudzongo
Web coordinator — University of Waterloo
HighEdWeb general member
HighEdWeb has been a constant presence in my career since starting in higher education.
The conferences are perpetually useful (along with a great time) and the community is supportive and dynamic. As my roles and responsibilities evolved and changed, HighEdWeb serves as an invaluable professional development resource and as a crucial networking tool to connect with colleagues across the country.
Tiffany Broadbent Beker
Director of digital marketing —William & Mary
HighEdWeb institutional member
HighEdWeb introduced me to new people, new ideas, new experiences and new opportunities.
The ability to network and chat with like-minded people who all share and understand the challenges associated with higher education makes me realize I’m not as isolated as I sometimes feel in my role.

From our volunteers

I volunteered with HighEdWeb for the first time this year, and found a welcoming and excited group of colleagues.
They made it so easy to get involved, and I got to have a real impact planning the HighEdWeb North Carolina Regional Conference.
Chad Haefele
Head of user experience — University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
HighEdWeb North Carolina Regional Conference program chair 
HighEdWeb has given me the opportunity to collaborate with passionate peers who are always ready to lend a hand, share their expertise and celebrate your successes.
While volunteering, I have been able to contribute meaningfully to the future of the higher education digital space while also enhancing my own skills and professional growth. Being involved in HighEdWeb allows me to make a real difference, by fostering innovation and excellence in the higher education web community.
Brooke Bailey
Digital accessibility coordinator — University of Virginia
HighEdWeb accessibility community group leader
I knew that I wanted to get involved and give back to HighEdWeb with my time and skills, but I had no idea how much I would personally benefit from this experience too!
The ability to connect and collaborate with other higher ed professionals keeps me sharp and I’m able to take new insights back to my professional role. I’m so grateful for this experience to work with such a talented and creative team!

New initiatives

HighEdWeb continually seeks to grow and improve the resources and opportunities we offer.

Strategic plan completed for 2021-23

The board approved a strategic plan to guide the association through 2023. In everything that we do, HighEdWeb considers diversity, equity and inclusion as well as financial responsibility. With that in mind, our goals include increasing membership and access to member resources, ensuring community awareness of offerings and providing meaningful opportunities for engagement.

Increased professional-premium members by 25%

HighEdWeb increased professional-premium members 760 to 2,855 (276%) between January 2021 and December 2023. The increase was largely due to the increase in institutional memberships (up over 500%) during the same time period.

Institutional membership provides benefits to both individuals and their institutions. It is the most cost-effective way to share the benefits of HighEdWeb with employees and students across an entire organization.

Evaluated the HighEdWeb brand and created recommendations for addressing brand challenges

In February 2022, the HighEdWeb Branding Evaluation Task Force assembled to evaluate the HighEdWeb brand. The goals were to conduct a brand audit, evaluating the strengths and challenges of the brand and make recommendations for moving forward to address any challenges. 

HighEdWeb engaged The Melior Group, a Philadelphia-based marketing research firm, to assist in assessing our audience and brand reputation. A final report from the Brand Evaluation Task Force was issued in March 2023. In November 2023, the brand agency, Ethos, was contracted to assist with delivering the rebranding plan.

Increased total sponsorship revenue

Sponsorship revenue increased by 132% between 2021 and 2023, largely due to the return of the in-person Annual Conference in 2022 and the hiring of an additional employee to manage the program.

Increasing the number of events and the year-round association-wide sponsorship packages were also contributors to the increase. 

Leadership

The through-line of everything this Association accomplishes is its community — the people who make our events possible, share their knowledge and experiences, and collectively make our institutions a better place for it.
As the digital space has evolved over the last few years, so too has the Association — we’re excited for what’s coming next.
