Montreal, February 10, 2010  

Dear distinguished Guests and Competitors, 

On behalf of the HEC MBA Student Association, we invite you to participate in the 1^st edition of the HEC Sustainability Challenge to be held on March 12 and 13, 2010.  

HEC Montreal is proud to host this event, which will bring Canadian MBA students together to address sustainability issues through a series of academic events and competitions including: 

Day 1:             Net Impact Conference, co-hosted with McGill University

Day 2:             Sustainability Case Competition

                    Sustainable Business Plan Competition

                    Sustainability Debate, hosted by the HEC Toastmasters Club 

The HEC Sustainability Challenge will provide MBA students with an opportunity to test their strategic analysis, business plan, and debate skills against fellow MBA competitors, as well as to network with sustainable organizations and environmentally responsible companies.

It will also feature round-table discussions and engaging top-level conferences. This is a fantastic opportunity for future leaders concerned with sustainability in business to exchange ideas and to open lines of communication about an issue that is of pressing concern to us all. We are extremely excited about this weekend and hope you will be able to join us as either competitors or guests.   

Sincerely,

Jarrod Ward                    Luis E. Garcia                   Pablo Larocque
