Harvard Board of Overseers

The Harvard Board of Overseers (more formally The Honorable and Reverend the Board of Overseers) is an advisory board of alumni at Harvard University. Unlike the Harvard Corporation, the Board of Overseers is not a fiduciary governing board, but instead "has the power of consent to certain actions of the Corporation."^[1] Formed in 1642, the Board of Overseers predates the Corporation's 1650 incorporation.^[2]
