Greetings Friends,
Autumn is the best time to connect for beneficial social and career networking. As part of our new "Entrepreneur Spotlight" events focused on dynamic Metro Detroit business founders, we will be meeting in Ann Arbor on October 24th. Details below!
Club updates:
The Harvard Club of Detroit has lost our esteemed member Bob Goodenow, a dear friend to many. Bob graduated from Harvard University in 1974 and was the Crimson Hockey Team Captain. An Attorney, he is most notable for serving as the Executive Director of the NHL Players Association from 1992-2005. A graceful gentleman, his passion for hockey continued to flourish in his discussions of the Red Wings. As an entrepreneur and investor, he extended his pursuits into starting the Suburban Sports Group. This consortium of ice rinks ensured countless youth could stay healthy and pursue their hockey and skating dreams. We will honor his life by participating in the charity "Goals & Dreams" dedication this winter at the Detroit Clark Park Coalition in conjunction with the NHL-PA.
The Harvard Club of Detroit is pleased to announce that Sophia Franz has graduated with a BSc in International Business & Finance - Summa Cum Laude. She accomplished this in only 3 years, while working two jobs and assisting the Club! We applaud her hard work and zeal at such a young age. Thank you Sophia!
