- Harriet E. Richards Alumnae Association (HERAA)
The Harriet E. Richards Alumnae Association (HERAA) is a non-profit incorporated organization dedicated to ensuring the continued existence of the Harriet E. Richards Cooperative House by advancing and protecting the shared issues and interests of HER alumnae and residents. A volunteer Board of Directors consisting of a small number of alumnae located in the Boston area leads the HERAA who meet monthly. The officers, President, Vice President, Treasurer, Clerk and Secretary, are elected at the Alumnae Tea in April and serve for one year. The Board’s role is to liaise with Boston University officials, co-sponsor social events, publish an annual newsletter, and maintain historical records. By raising money from alumnae, the Board purchases and maintains furnishings and equipment, sponsors four annual awards (two for residents and two for Board members).
The alumnae have been active in House affairs since the beginning. Because House residents have been active in the affairs of the House for only a few years, the alumnae provide a long-term perspective and help maintain the traditions of HER.
While the House recognizes the HERAA as an organization associated with the House, it does not give any power or authority in this record or elsewhere in the matters of the House. In the case of the absence of the President and House Director at the Harriet E. Richards Alumnae Association meetings, the vacant voting seats will be filled in the following order: Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Clerk and Steward.
