How we reach you
We do not ask for your postal address –
we communicate via email.
For event announcements, news, discussion forums, and
networking, we use two different free online systems
–
Yahoo Groups and LinkedIn. Yahoo Groups and LinkedIn each require a separate login. We
do not have access to your password on either Yahoo Groups
or LinkedIn.
You
must use the same email address with all of the HPAlumni Yahoo
groups...
...and you must have that email address on your LinkedIn
account. Add another address
on LinkedIn.
With more than 21,000 people, we have many duplicate names.
We use your email address – not your name – to identify you.
To determine the email address for your Yahoo Groups membership,
check where your issues of HP Alumni News
are sent.
This network is operated by former HP employees. It is not endorsed or supported by the Hewlett‑Packard Company.

HPAA Membership
To join the HPAA,
go here: Join.
(You do not have to use a yahoo.com email address or
have a Yahoo account to join.) |
|
HP Alumni Association |
All HPAA members are in this Yahoo
group. The only emails sent to this list are issues of HP Alumni News
once or twice a month -- with news of local events and
other items
of broad interest. You can change your subscription to send
daily digest emails or
no emails, instead of the
default of individual emails.
|
Social and Networking Events
Announcements of forthcoming
events are included in the once-or-twice-a month HP
Alumni News emails. There is probably a gathering
of HP folks near you. If there isn't, we'll
help you set one up!

Online Discussion Forums and
Job
Opportunity Email Lists
HPAA members may subscribe to discussion forums and email lists. Each is a separate "group" on Yahoo.
The email subject line gives the name of the group in
brackets
– for example [HPAA Career]. For each group, you can change your subscription to send
daily digest emails or
no emails, instead of the
default of individual emails.
You must use the same email address for your HPAA membership and all subscriptions.
HPAlumni uses the Yahoo Groups system, but you do not have to use a yahoo.com email address or
have a Yahoo account to join the HPAlumni forums and email lists.
