HBS Trustees List

I am a horrible googler

Could anyone point me to a list of the governing board of HBS. The girl I am dating seemed to hint that her step dad was a trustee. I want to verify before my lips touch unclean places.

@Brady- serious prestige issues. You're a ####ing trader at a ####ing prop shop. Just because your fellow traders like talking Big Ten basketball over a bottle of Leinenkugel's doesn't mean you don't have a job most MBAs would drool over.

@OP- chillax. Relationships are a lot better when you get in the relationship for who the person is rather than pedigrees and wealth. Stop worrying about it unless you're convinced she might be a serial liar- in which case, google it.

True, but a wife with a few hundred million in the bank makes for a pretty reasonable lifestyle. Hell, I might even quit my job and explore an interest in watercolor painting and wine collecting.

To the OP - I've looked for the board members before and it's kind of tough to tell who is on the official board. There is the board of the alumni association (the closest thing I can find to it), but that may not be what you're looking for.

Hi, Eric Stratton, rush chairman, damn glad to meet you.
 
Otter. True, but a wife with a few hundred million in the bank makes for a pretty reasonable lifestyle. Hell, I might even quit my job and explore an interest in watercolor painting and wine collecting.
I'm not sure men should really consider wealth in their relationship decisions. Call me old-fashioned, but while the Missus is free to use her assets to fund a better lifestyle, the guy still has a responsibility to maintain his ability to be the primary breadwinner if the rug gets pulled out from under you.

You want to go into this relationship without an eye towards money. Period. It's much healthier for you and her in the long run. You want this to work, and you're getting involved with her for her- not for the accessories she comes with.

 

The alumni board appears to be the closest thing they have to a board, at least online. That would not be unusual for the business school (to only a have a board of alumni advisors, not a board of trustees).

Either way, I'm not sure such membership guarantees "hundreds of millions", especially for the daughter. My father made it clear long ago that "we" didn't have anything. "he" (and my mom) do.

Plus a lot of people at HBS go more for power (DC) than money. Or non-profit/change the world/save africa etc. goals.

The alumni board is not the board. I am on the young alumni board of my own alma mater. It's like an advisory thing. We don't vote on budget and hire and fire the dean. There is a board and that is what they do.

That's just a general alumni board, not a young alumni board. There are young alumni members, though. This is true of a lot of places I think.

Anyway, these are what I could find:

No, but money won't come into play until the relationship gets serious enough to worry about family planning, and you owe your kids more than a higher-IQ version of Britney Spears and K-Fed for parents.

Don't poison the relationship from the start by worrying about her money. Especially if you are a guy. You need to be you and you need to see her for being her. If she is ugly or has a nasty personality, don't walk; run. The guy who winds up in a long-term relationship with a rich witch deserves all the nasty spells that she brews up.

You don't want to be a kept man unless you'd be in the relationship without the money.

 

I'm all for the honorable and 'real' relationship thing. HOWEVER, if I was dating a girl whose dad might get me into HBS, I would ABSOLUTELY leverage the hell out of that.

You had better make very certain that she never logs on to WSO - this whole thing could be misunderstood.....
