Dear Intel Alumni,

We’re excited to announce the kickoff of the Intel Alumni Network (IAN) Arizona Chapter!

After a quiet stretch, we’re re-energizing our community to reconnect, collaborate, and create meaningful opportunities together. With so many of us now retired or pursuing new paths beyond Intel, there’s no better time to rekindle the connections that helped shape our careers—and explore how we can continue to support one another.
