The Harvard Kennedy School New England Alumni Association and the Harvard Club of Boston are pleased to invite you to the HKSNE Alumni Association's Annual Dinner with keynote speaker Professor Juliette Kayyem of the Harvard Kennedy School who will speak about “America’s Security in a Time of Mayhem”.

The vulnerabilities our communities face today challenge our traditional notions of homeland security.  These borderless threats — pandemics, climate change, cyber- attacks, and terrorism — are not addressed by the notion of a wall or the tools of statecraft.  Professor Kayyem, a leading expert on homeland and national security and the Faculty Chair of the Kennedy School’s Homeland Security Program, will discuss how we recognize these challenges, adapt, and integrate all of America’s capabilities to fight them. She will lead a timely discussion on how best to protect our communities and, ultimately, how we can invest in a more resilient homeland. 

$85 ticket price includes three-course dinner, and there is a cash bar available (please note, cash only).  A chicken entree will be served; please email walat@post.harvard.edu to request a vegetarian meal or to indicate any food allergies.

Note the dress code at the Harvard Club is business casual.

Ticket sales close on Monday, June 10th at 2pm.
