Welcome to The Boston Club Compass!

Your Main Resource for Navigating all the Club has to Offer

 

 

I’m Interested in:

 

 Building Relationships - Personal or Professional

  • Please join the annual "High Tea with ESG" event on March 30, 1pm at the Courtyard Tea Room at the Boston Public Library!  This event is meant to introduce TBC members to the club's Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) group. Join us for an elegant classic tea with a twist of New England culinary favorites with finely crafted tea sandwiches, sweets, signature tea-infused cocktails, and scones in a historic and architectural marvel like the McKim Building of the Boston Public Library. The food will be complemented by a sublime discussion on ESG priorities and interests. An ESG reading list will be sent out to the attendees in advance. The event costs $50-68 depending on cocktail choices. Please rsvp to [email protected] since space is limited and the location does not permit walk-ins. 
  • Are you a New Member (joined any time after January 2022)?  Get the most out of the Club by participating in our all new New Member Series.  The next sessions are scheduled for  April 18th at 12p (virtual), and May 16th at 5p (virtual).
  • Do you have a friend or colleague that you'd like to introduce to the Club?  The next Prospective Members Event is being held on May 10th at 11:45a.
  • The Boston Club's annual signature spring event, supporting its mission and commitment to community - the Community Salute - is taking place as a hybrid event on Thursday evening April 27th.  Join us for a fireside chat with Kim Janey, President and CEO of EMPath and former Mayor of Boston, as she discusses her personal journey with leadership including how she broke barriers and blazed new trails. Attendees will hear insights from Ms. Janey and have the opportunity to ask questions. The Club will also present its 2023 Advancement Award to a charitable organization that offers programs to develop leadership skills that promote diversity and tolerance in girls and young women.   Register here.
  • Affinity Groups provide a great opportunity to meet Club members in smaller, more intimate events.  We currently have active regional groups located in North Shore, MetroWest, Lexington, Sudbury / Concord, South Shore, and New Hampshire (residents of VT and ME are welcome as well!).  Head to the Affinity Group Circles area in MemberClicks to join in.
  • One of the best ways to meet other members in the Club is to join a Committee.  Contact a Committee Chair today to see how you can help.
  • Join the conversation on social media on our public LinkedIn page, private LinkedIn group, Twitter, private Facebook group,  public Facebook group, or Instagram
  • The Member Engagement Sub-committee is looking for volunteers to conduct brief interviews with other Club members.  If you are looking for a way to get involved, but don't have a lot of time, this could be for you!  Want to help?  Contact Member Engagement Sub-committee Chair, Ellen Keiley.
  • The Membership Committee is seeking Ambassadors to support new members admitted to The Boston Club.  If you have been a member of TBC for 2 years, you can be an Ambassador!  We will help you by providing all sorts of on-boarding resources and information about TBC. If you are interested in becoming an Ambassador, please contact Cathy McKone-Simons.

 

 

Building My Business / Personal Brand

 

  • Please join us for another exciting Boston Club Bring-A-Friend networking evening with our guest speaker, Liz Brunner, CEO of  Brunner Communications!  Liz will be telling the story of her career and speaking about her book  Dare To Own You, Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams into Your Next Chapter.  Liz will reflect on the risks she has taken, the obstacles she’s overcome and the lessons learned along the way.  This in person event will take place on Tuesday, April 11th at 6p in Brookline at The Goddard House.  Register here.
  • The Business Referral Groups have been some of the most active groups in the Club.  It's not too late to Sign-up for Group #4.

Building My Board Capabilities – Corporate or Non-Profit

 

 

 

Building Cultural Competence as a Leader / Being an Ally for All

 

  • Join us for our second Ally Couch on May 9th at 12p as two authentic and accomplished Boston-area men share their experiences and challenges as 'Men as Allies'.  This is a virtual event.
  • Join us as we continuously educate ourselves about equity and justice.  The DEI Committee will host group events during the year, such as a trip to the Museum of African-American History.  The Committee also provides opportunities for us each to take part in self-education through videos, books, discussions, and interactive online resources.  Watch here for updates and access our library of resource materials:
  • Reach out to our Diversity and Inclusion Committee Chair, Donna Bonaparte, to get involved.

 

Video Library

If you missed a program or want to see what programs the Club has offered, this is the place. We are building the library, so the list will continue to grow with both past programs as well as those occurring in the future.  If you don’t see what you’re looking for, come back soon and try again!

 

 

 


Diversity & Inclusion

Within The Boston Club, diversity is the recognition of and valuing of differences amongst members, including and not limited to race, religion, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental and physical abilities, and work/life balance issues. Inclusion is the action of diversity, how we live, our respect for others and how we effectively utilize our leadership to promote the advancement of all women.

 

 

A diverse membership ensures the richness and vibrancy of ideas, topics and approaches. Ultimately, diversity and inclusion enhances the quality of experiences, promotes member engagement, and develops leadership depth.
