Involvement in ESC Rennes ALUMNI
Why getting involved in the alumni network?
ESC RENNES ALUMNI association helps all alumni. We often tend to reduce an association or a network to a few friends gathered together. But that is wrong! The power of an association and the value it represents to its members depends on their commitment.
The more we are, the greater the diversity and richness of our network.
Let’s be proud of our school, our graduation and our network!
Let’s stand for it in our workplace as in our personal environment. Participate actively in the life and influence of ESC RENNES ALUMNI. We will all benefit collectively and individually.
In a few words: do not stay away, do not remain "consumers", become actors! Together, we form a great network for a great school!
Concretely, how do I get involved in the ESC RENNES ALUMNI?
Here are a few examples among the many opportunities available:
First, paying your dues to become a life member
Nothing is easier now with the new system of "lifetime member" and the possibility to pay online. For those who are not yet members, you will only have to pay your dues once. 
Keeping in mind to regularly update your personal and business contact information on your personal details. Do not forget that the quality of our directory, the effectiveness of our communication activities and the credibility of our organization in partnerships operations (recruitment agencies, sponsors ....) depend on it! 
Participate in certain events
The list of these events is clearly visible in the Calendar section and a regular report in the News section reflects the increasing attendance of our events. Increasingly numerous and diversified (international aperitifs, lectures, theme dinners, sports outings ...), these events can certainly answer some of your personal or professional expectations. 
Take part in the organization of certain events of the association
Depending on the time you spend outside of your work and family, you can even propose, occasionally or more regularly, organizing events (annual party, conferences ...). If your company allows you to, you could provide space to host a meeting, or negotiate organizing a dinner with a restaurant or a themed evening party for a Professional Club? 
Offering your help on running a Country Club, a Regional Club, a Business Club or a Leisure Club, or become one of our Business Ambassadors?
A number of vacancies are mentioned in the right banner of the mentioned sections. 
Promoting the "brand" ESC RENNES within your company
Many of our ex-students have promoted the image of our school in their HRD to improve the recognition and positioning. We all benefit from it.
