March 23, 2017 was a special day for the French Citi Alumni association CAC 60-19. On that day, 70 Citi France Alumni celebrated the 25^th anniversary of the association’s foundation and its 30^th consecutive annual dinner took place. Its name comes from the combination of “CAC” - Club des Anciens Citibankers (Citibank Alumni Club), “60” (for the original Citibank Paris branch at 60 Champs Elysées) and “19” (for the second home of the Paris branch at 19 Le Parvis de La Défense after its move in 1982).
The occasion was particularly special because it also saw one of the longest running Presidents of the Association, Mr. Jean Remy, hand over the leadership to Mr. Didier Durandy. Mr. Remy briefly reminisced on the years he headed the association and Mr. Durandy made an introductory speech highlighting the lines along which he intend to lead the group going forward: from increasing the number of subscribing members, to developing new business-oriented opportunities for members, services for alumni looking for a job, cultural events, etc.
Andrea Legnani, Citi’s Director of Alumni Relations, also greeted the crowd and delivered to Mr. Remy a personal thank-you letter from Citi CEO Mike Corbat.
Lars Seynaeve, Public Affairs Officer for France and French alumni coordinator, was present to testify to Citi France's commitment to a continued partnership with the Association.
The night went on with all the attending alumni reminiscing old times and strengthening the bonds formed in years of mutual friendship and collaboration. Photos of the event can be found here.
