HASAN was founded in May 2000 to
provide a forum through which Harvard African alumni could communicate
and network. In March 2002, HASAN held its First Reunion and Business
Meeting during which it was decided to formalize HASAN by electing a
Steering Committee, establishing non-profit status, broadening its
mandate and opening membership to all alumni of Harvard University with
an interest in Africa.

In July 2003 HASAN was
incorporated in the State of Massachusetts. The initial Steering
Committee became its first Board of Directors which is charged to
provide strategic, managerial and financial oversight of HASAN's work
and activities. HASAN was granted tax-exempt status [501(c)(3)
non-profit status] by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in April 2004.

During
the past five years HASAN has grown from a founding membership of 30 to
more than 250. It has established several successful programs at
Harvard and in Africa as well as launched a newsletter which is
published three times a year.

HASAN primarily
functions as a virtual organization through the means of a Listserv and
a Member Forum. All members of HASAN have the opportunity for a
face-to-face meeting every year at the Annual Reunion on Harvard's
campus.
