It would have to be a tie between the Entrepreneurial Dinner (Nvidia) and the Business Leader Dinner (Dr. Chu).

Harvard Business School Association of Northern California (HBSA/NC) Does anyone have suggestions for a book prize that's about the climate change issues we're facing? Perhaps a balanced view instead of strongly one way or the other?

You should get one. Also after the holidays would love to catch lunch or coffee or whatever (a hike?) to see if you coming to class would be a mutually beneficial effort. I have an agenda. I am not sure many of my students have the money and many don't qualify. Yet, a half dozen in the Case Class might.....I'm not teaching the Intermediate feeder class in the spring but that would be even a better one.

To become a fan, just click on the "become a fan" box at the top of the page. Once you become a fan, the box disappears. Apolinar, you are already a fan so you won't see the box anymore.
There are no technical restrictions, so anyone can join - however for the purposes of our contest, we will check to ensure that winners are alumni of HBS and have a Bay Area connection. They do not have to be paying members of HBSANC, but they do need to eligible to join the club.
