Leadership

The Harvard Club of Chicago is nearly all volunteer run, with alumni donating their time to ensuring Chicago-area alumni and affiliates have opportunities to engage with one another and remain connected to Harvard.

Our Leadership Team oversees all operations and committees. Our entire board of directors comprises alumni who serve for three-year terms with the option to renew. If you are interested in joining a committee or exploring a board position, please contact the Harvard Club of Chicago Office. We welcome and encourage all members to get involved!
