Harvard Business School alumni are invited to participate in Harvard University's elections for both the Board of Overseers and the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA). Ballots will be mailed during the first week of April, and completed ballots must be received by noon on June 4. This year, voters will elect five members of the University's Board of Overseers and six directors of the Harvard Alumni Association.

The Board of Overseers is one of Harvard's two governing boards, the other being the President and Fellows, which is more commonly known as the Corporation. The Board has thirty members elected at large by Harvard degree holders in annual groups of five for six-year terms. The Overseers' chief roles are to visit the graduate schools, departments, and museums of the University to ensure that the University remains true to its Charter as a place of learning and to the institutional excellence to which Harvard aspires; to provide advice to the Corporation; to give formal consent to major initiatives as referred by the Corporation and to appointments; and to bring a long-range perspective to Harvard affairs through the varied competence and experience of their membership.
