The Harvard Club of Boston is family.

Tuck Rickards, MBA’91, Boston Area Manager, Russell Reynolds Associates, Inc.; President, HBS Alumni of Boston, 2006. Since we moved to Marblehead, my family and I have used the Harvard Club as our Boston home base. Where else can you extend a dinner for two into a relaxing evening with friends, or even an overnight stay in one of the Club’s hotel rooms? And our children Matt, Katie, and Andrew really enjoy their “Power Breakfasts with Dad” (frankly,not as much as I do).

With our office located at One Federal Street, my colleagues and I use the Downtown Club as our company meeting place. You can’t beat the food, or the views of Boston Harbor. It is also a great way to keep in touch with fellow Alumni and friends.

Why not join my wife Kelly,my children, and me in making the Harvard Club of Boston a part of your family?
