Governance consistent with its objectives

ESSEC is affiliated with the Versailles Val d’Oise-Yvelines (CCIV) Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the second largest in France after the Paris Chamber. The school is managed by a Board of Directors and a Board of Overseers, which bring together members of the ESSEC community (alumni, faculty, students), CCIV representatives and figures of the economic community.
