This is a more exclusive event compared to some ones that I've posted, but.... I'd like to share it anyway. If you're a woman professional or college student, you can become a member of 85 Broads and go to this. If you happen to be male, to go to this event you have to have gone to Harvard. (If not, stay tuned for future events.)
I'm including this because this is a shout-out to all you women who want to make a difference and meet awesome people who are doing the same. I joined 85 Broads this August and was lucky enough to meet the founder, Janet Hanson, who is a totally amazing business rockstar and inspirational figure. I'd recommend checking out her book, More than 85 Broads, if you're also interested in "Making Career Choices, Taking Risks, and Defining Success - On Their [Your] Own Terms."
Happy networking,
Katharine
