Harvard Club of France
Working with other members to co-lead and design a two year strategy of events, learning opportunities and community engagement activity across France. We identified the three pillars of Learning, Community and Impact as the focus for all programme areas and then mobilised as a team to implement. As a small-scale organisation with limited funds, we have had to be nimble and efficient with time and resources but have nonetheless achieved outstanding results and taken the club to a huge upsurge in events.
Caroline has personally overseen the regional strategy to align with the three pillars, as well as forged strategic partnerships with other Ivy League colleges to grow the reach of the Club and ensure an exciting programme of work that is not just confined to Paris.
