| What
is HCA Monday Club? A small-group forum just for Harvard Club members. At Monday Club, we discuss topics of mutual interest in an informal, collegial and non-judgmental way. In Sydney, it’s held on the first or second Monday every month from February onwards. Attendance is strictly members only – and not more than 20 - so that everyone participates in the discussion. Recent topics have ranged over subjects as diverse as business ethics, high end medical research, whistle-blowing, leadership qualities, truth-in-government, and e-commerce. |
| How
does the Monday Club work? In one of two ways: either a designated member (currently Richard Broinowski in Sydney) invites experts to come and be the focus for topical monthly discussions; or less formally, at the end of one meeting, any member can volunteer to host the next one on some interesting topic. In Sydney, recent meetings have been hosted in a side room at the American Club, but an alternative venue is any member’s CBD boardroom table. The host just prepares a brief invitation, sends it to Clive Gard, and he broadcast emails it to local members. Members accept by booking online at Coming Events. Catering
is simple – sandwiches and soft drinks - $25
Time: 12:15 to 1:50 pm - on the dot. |
| How
to become involved? If a Monday Club doesn’t exist in your city, why not start one and see that it keeps rolling? All you have to do is offer to host one, choose a subject, date and location, prepare a notice and email it to Clive Gard hca@harvard.org.au. Whatever else it may do for you, it’s a good way to enjoy the special fellowship that seems to exist between Harvard alum. |
