The HEC Alumni Association manages an annual budget of €4 million with a team of around 20 employees. Its mission is to cultivate ties between HEC graduates and HEC Paris by mobilising a diverse and international community through sharing, mutual support and lifelong learning. In this way, the Association contributes to the mission of HEC Paris.

The Association's missions are carried out in three dimensions: We Share. We Dare. We Care.

We Share. Thanks to the efforts of nearly 1,500 volunteers, HEC Alumni brings graduates together every year for more than 1,000 events around the world, including conferences, round tables, social gatherings, class reunions, and more. Hundreds of communities of interest, whether by professional sector, country or region, or graduating class, bring the network together, offering graduates opportunities for sharing and personal or professional encounters.

We Dare. HEC Alumni offers a range of services to its paying members, providing access to mentoring, continuing education and professional support. It is involved in a number of ambitious projects for the HEC community, including an investment fund (HEC Ventures), a prestigious gala dinner to support the future ambitions of HEC Paris, and the operation of an HEC House in London.

We Care. The Association maintains a solidarity fund to help alumni in difficulty and promotes solidarity projects within the community. It also supports alumni through its professional and personal support service, HEC Life Project.

The Association faces structural challenges for its future: firstly, the transformation of its activities in a context of accelerated digitalisation (data management, new uses, AI, etc.); secondly, the evolution of the community (increasingly diverse and international); and finally, changes to its business model and financing, as well as the challenges of coordinating actions within the ‘OneHEC’ ecosystem.
