Across the US, the UK and Australia, the month of March is celebrated as Women’s History Month.
To commemorate this occassion, the Harvard Square Business Association annually publishes a list of women business owners and directors, as well as political, academic, cultural and non-profit leaders from across the Square and our fair city.
We congratulate these women and the outstanding impact they have on our community and beyond. We applaud their dedication, appreciate their hard work and honor their achievements.
On behalf of the HSBA board of directors and staff, we are excited to invite you to our Annual Women’s History Month Breakfast at 8:30am on Thursday, March 5th at Lovestruck Books. We hope you will join us for a fun and engaging conversation amongst friends.
