As far as I’m aware, this was a term introduced by the CEA Groups team in around 2021, as a way of (proxy-)measuring the impact of different EA groups. The reasoning being that groups that turn more people into highly engaged EAs (HEAs) are more impactful. HEA corresponds to “Core” in CEA’s funnel model, I believe, so essentially an HEA is someone who has made a significant career decision based on EA principles.
What an HEA?
Highly engaged EA.

I think it’s “Highly engaged EAs”, no?
Oh, yes, you’re right, I misremembered. Thanks for flagging, I’ve edited my above response.
