“As a member of the Harvard Square business community, it is extremely important to stay informed and involved with the issues that directly affect Harvard Square. The business association does an excellent job in representing all of the businesses in the square.”

“I cannot conceive of being in business in Harvard Square without being a member of the HSBA. The map, the web site, the newsletter… each one alone is worth more than the cost of our annual membership. Membership has unquestionably helped my business survive and prosper. Also, speaking as a second generation merchant in the square now for 40 years myself, I enjoy belonging to an association that fosters the personal relationships I've had with others in the HSBA.”
