chapters and discussion social groups (DSGs)

ANHW’s mission is to build a vibrant, intergenerational community of Harvard and Radcliffe alumnae/i that empowers Harvard women and enhances their leadership both at Harvard and in society. The organization focuses on providing networking opportunities and a platform to discuss issues important to women within the Harvard community and beyond. With members spanning 66 countries, achieving a close-knit community can be challenging.

To address this, ANHW launched Discussion/Social Groups (DSGs), which are more casual than formal Chapters and easier to manage. These groups enable personal connections among members - whether in neighborhoods of large cities or in smaller regional clusters - and can collaborate on events or eventually become Chapters. Members are encouraged to join the Facebook group to share ideas and connect globally. ANHW’s Corporate Board supports new groups with resources, guidance, and ongoing communication, and has introduced Zone Chairs to help local groups and serve as liaisons with leadership. Those interested in forming a DSG or Chapter are invited to get involved.
