HARVARD CLUB OF VICTORIA 2026 ANNUAL DINNER
AND SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Please join fellow Harvard Alumni for the 2026 Harvard Club of Victoria Annual Dinner on Thursday 19 November at Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club.
This year is the 25th anniversary of the Harvard Club of Victoria's Non-Profit Fellowship. Over the past quarter of a century, through the generosity of Harvard alumni, this Fellowship has supported 58 remarkable CEOs of non-profit organisations to attend Harvard University and conduct a study tour of peer organisations in North America. The accumulated positive impact upon the broader Victorian community has been immense.
To celebrate this incredibly special milestone, this year's Annual Dinner will feature several of the leading individuals in the inspiring and ongoing story of the Fellowship, as well as a panel of our Fellows.
Bill Cowan, who established the Fellowship with Mary Wooldridge, and Alice Hill, former long-time Chair of the Fellowship Committee (and former global President of the Harvard Alumni Association) will share highlights from the history and the enormous impact of the Fellowship. Jennifer Fitzgerald (current Chair of the Committee and past Fellow) will moderate a panel consisting of Kent Burgess (CEO, Tweddle Child and Family Health Service), David Manne (CEO, Refugee Legal), and Nerita Waight (CEO, Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service).
As in past years, we will of course have priceless auction items for sale in support of the Non-Profit Fellowship as well as fabulous food and drink. And as always, it will be a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new members of the Victorian Harvard community!
