Why I Joined the Harvard Club of Boston

There are many different reasons to join the Harvard Club of Boston. Karen Van Winkle is a Harvard alum and has been a member for nearly 35 years. She was recently named the first female president of the Harvard Club of Boston. Here's why she joined.

"I joined the Harvard Club immediately upon graduation, and from the first moment I walked in the door, other members encouraged me to get involved in leadership positions. I've served on several committees, including the House Committee and Program Committee and have had two tours on the Board of Governors. The incredible diversity of people here is one of the main reasons I value my membership. It's a supportive environment for women to develop and hone their leadership skills, and a great place to network and connect with some of Boston's most influential people."
