PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Fellow Members, Life at our Club and at the University is as vibrant as ever. It is wonderful to see so many of you after your summer adventures using the clubhouse, attending events, and engaging in club life during September. On a recent Sunday afternoon, a robust crowd of members cheered on the Harvard and New Zealand Polo teams at the Myopia Polo Club. Along with a beautiful afternoon of fun and great polo, it was delightful to the have the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, and her family join us under our HCB tent to enjoy the match. The Inauguration of President Claudine Gay was a great day that reminded all of us of the significance of Harvard University in the world of higher education. President Gay is a true servant leader who will work with all to chart a course for the University’s future. We look forward to her leadership, wisdom and guidance during her tenure. This October promises to be as busy as ever highlighted by these engaging and diverse events: • October 2 – A Fireside Chat with HBS Professor Amy Edmondson • October 10 – Cocktail 374 featuring a special appearance by one of our newest HCB Members – HBS Dean Srikant Datar • October 13 – Interactive Cooking Class with the Action Kitchen Chefs at the Seaport Hotel

Harvard community. Participating is easy: Sign up to complete a 5k—your way—between Thursday, November 2, and Sunday, November 5.

Club management is currently finalizing details of the plan and its implementation. Sustainability is one of the HCB’s core values, and we continually strive to conserve and contribute to the world around us. When members ask me what they can do to assist the club, there are two things that always come to mind. First, we want to see you at our events. We strive to provide exceptional opportunities for you to participate and engage in the life of our club. Second, spread the word, talk to fellow alumni about becoming members and invite them to do so. The most important asset of the Harvard Club of Boston is its members. Many thanks to all of you for choosing to be members of our beloved Club. Your loyalty and support make us thrive as a community, onward together.
