One of the original founding chapters for the Harvard Black Alumni Society, the New York City Chapter is rooted in the history of the organization. It has one of the largest concentrations of black alumni in the world and serves as a community for alumni to recharge, reconnect, and reforge bonds with one another. Our events are focused on both Membership and Community to allow us to both affiliate with one another and to empower the community around us.

A Conversation with Ray McGuire moderated by Michel Martin

Co-sponsored with HBSAAA and ClassACT HR79 Club

Note: This event is a conversation to feature an alumnus running for public office. It is neither a campaign event nor a fundraiser. HBAS does not endorse political candidates or movements, but considers it a matter of public interest to hear from and feature alumni running for or holding public office.

Please join us Tuesday, February 22nd at 6pm ET for a conversation with Ray McGuire (and HBS/HLS 84), moderated by NPR’s Michel Martin, HR80, and learn about Ray’s life so far and why he’s running for “the second toughest job in America.”

Our conversation will focus on Ray’s journey through Harvard and its impact on his career. Along with looking back at his career highlights, we’ll explore the personal reflections that led him to decide to enter public service and run for mayor. Award-winning journalist and weekend host of NPR’s All Things Considered Michel Martin will guide us through this discussion, which will include a Q&A with attendees.
