Testimonial
Jean-Louis Leynaud (1981)
Rhone Alpes Ambassador
« It’s important to have someone you can contact when you arrive in a new area. The area in and around Lyon is really nice but you need to have good contacts if you want to get your foot in the door. In a couple of hours, I can give new arrivals all the lowdown they need on where to find the best contacts as well as our club’s activities. I’m a firm believer in the network principle.”
The regional clubs
There’s nothing outside of Paris and its immediate vicinity…? You’ve got to be joking! Our regional delegates are active throughout France and they run the local Clubs with energy and enthusiasm. They organise numerous professional and social meetings, outings and visits, giving you an opportunity to extend your network wherever you are!
What is a Regional Ambassador?
The Regional Ambassador is an EDHEC alumnus who lives and works in a specific region. He or she volunteers to act as an intermediary between Edhec Alumni Association, the alumni and the students living in the area in question.
There are often several regional ambassadors who coordinate clubs in the same region.
What do they do?
- welcome new arrivals and help them to settle in
- extend the Edhec network locally by organising informal and/or professional meetings
- pass on information from/to Edhec Alumni
What are the 1st Thursdays?
Every first Thursday of the month, alumni and students meet up for a drink or a meal in Marseilles, Nice and Lille. It’s a great way to get to know other Edhec people who live and work in your area. Check out the date of the next meeting in the Edhec Alumni upcoming events section or by getting in touch with us at: net@edhec.com.
