The ADAPT governance groups collectively function as a technology council for the Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) and the Office of Development (OOD), ensuring that technology decisions both inform and are informed by a broader university lens, while also ensuring campaign readiness, delivering on promises to alumni and donors, and continuing to mitigate business risks associated with PostGrads until we decommission it.
