ICIC’s Alumni Network

ICAN connects more than 9,000 alumni across the U.S. and Canada, providing ongoing learning, visibility, and opportunities to collaborate. With generous support from our principal sponsor Kaiser Permanente, ICAN launched its first seven chapters in Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2025, the network grew even stronger with two dynamic new chapters in Philadelphia and St. Louis, expanding opportunities for alumni to engage locally and nationally.

Led by alumni steering committees, these chapters serve as hubs for building meaningful relationships, sharing resources, and driving community impact. This year, in addition to our annual conference held in Los Angeles, ICAN hosted 14 events and introduced initiatives to deliver greater value. Among them were the two-day virtual ICIC Procurement Summit, providing alumni with up-to-date changes in government and corporate procurement processes, and redesigned networking sessions that foster collaboration and highlight local resources.

To sustain and grow this alumni-driven network, the “Investing in Innovation” Alumni Fund Campaign was launched. 25 percent of donations came from first-time ICAN donors, underscoring the deepening commitment of our alumni community.

Every connection and contribution helps drive economic growth and innovation in under-resourced communities nationwide.
