Hello Everyone -- I hope that you and your families are staying safe and doing well.
This month, with so much enthusiasm, I'd like to focus on the next iteration of our SIG.
When I say "focus on the next iteration," I don't mean that we're going to look into some crystal ball. But I do mean that, thanks to a core group of you who are motivated to lead our SIG forward, I am confident in "predicting" that we will all be in very good hands.
Which brings me to Meaghan Qian-Fu Becker, who will be succeeding me in the leadership of the SIG. Professionally, here are a few of Meaghan's career highlights so far: HBS, GM at Quintessa Estate, CEO at JamesSuckling.com.
Personally, I know that Meaghan has vision and a sincere, long-standing passion for the hospitality industry. For as emotional as it is for me to rotate out of this role with the SIG, I do so enthusiastically and with the pleasure of anticipating Meaghan's leadership and guidance that's to come. Even better, she'll do so with a cohort of alums from throughout the University who have stepped up to fulfill various positions and offers of administrative support.
My sincere thanks, to all of you.
Now, let me turn this over to Meaghan's first message to you.

Hello fellow alums,
I’m very excited to work on the next iteration of HAWF, along with a great group of people who have already volunteered their time - Ellen Le, Gautam Gandhi, Limeng Stroh and Daniel Motta-Calderon. We hope to bring content and programming that promote our shared passion for food and wine to the broader Harvard community, while highlighting great alums in this field.
We would love your help as we get started. Below are some areas you can support:
- Programing - if you have an idea for a program or can take the lead on putting together one, please email me (mb@invinoveritasllc.com) or Ellen (ellenleis@gmail.com).
- News and content - we are always looking for great content to share with this group. Please send us your updates and any photo or video content that you would like to share.
As we approach the long holiday weekend, here are some food and wine experiences that can be done in person or virtually:
Last but not least, please join me in a huge thank
you
to Cathy for founding and leading this group!
Best,
Meaghan Becker
