Elections 2025: Renewal of the emlyon alumni Governance Board

Every two years, the emlyon alumni association renews half of its Board of Directors. If you are a lifetime member of the network, you are invited to vote for 10 new members of the Board of Directors. This vote, essential to the vitality and representativeness of our association, takes place online from February 4 at 11am to March 13, 2025 at 5pm CET. The results will be announced at the Annual General Meeting on March 14, 2025 at 1pm by videoconference.
