HBS Club of Pittsburgh
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Fellow Alums,
I hope you all are having a great summer. I’ve enjoyed my three years as President of the Club and I’m looking forward to building upon the success we have achieved as an alumni organization in the past year. I hope that the HBSCP continues to be a source of intellectual stimulation, social camaraderie, and a value-added and fun place to be engaged. On that note, I welcome any suggestions or feedback from members on potential events or other opportunities for improvement. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time.
This past year’s in-person events in the fall included a well-attended alumni dinner at Bar Marco, Global Networking Night at Helltown Brewery, and, of course, Dr. Stu Hoffman’s Annual Economic Forecast. In the spring, the Club hosted a major event with Mayor Corey O'Connor, “Bridging to the Future: Driving Economic Growth in Pittsburgh,” that was attended by over 200 people. The Club also gathered together a small group of alums and guests to socialize over pickleball.
Our Board of Governors has decided again to grant full membership for the 2026-27 Program Year to all alumni who were HBSCP members during one or more of the past five Program Years or who registered for an event. What that means is that you, as a member during that period, are entitled to continued membership, and all its privileges, with no dues payment for 2026-27 and can receive member pricing for all events this coming year. Of course, if you have moved away or do not wish to participate as a member, please let us know.
Events this coming year will be kicked off again with a dinner on October 1st at the highly regarded Scratch & Co., a farm to table destination restaurant in the Troy Hill neighborhood. The dinner is discounted for all Member alums. Members pay $25 (guests of members pay $50), representing a substantial discount on the dinner cost. This is followed by an alumni “happy hour” on HBS’ Global Networking Night on October 14th at the PA Market in the Strip. Finally, we plan to hear again from PNC Chief Economist Stu Hoffman on December 10th at the AHYP Club to discuss the state of the economy this year and what to expect in 2027. Stu’s talk is always well attended for his down-to-earth assessment of the financial world we live in. Click here to register for one or all of these events on our website.
More events are being planned for the new year, and we will let you know as they are confirmed!
We hope to see you at one of our events! And if you have any questions about events, please contact us at events.hbspittsburgh.club@gmail.com.
