The BAA aims to: 

• Deepen understanding among Harvard Kennedy School alumni of social, economic, justice, health, and civic issues facing Black communities in the United States and around the world while raising awareness of potential policies and strategies to make these societies more fair, just, and equitable. 
• Promote diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and a culture of anti-racism at ����vlog���� and within the ����vlog���� community.

The gathers ����vlog���� alumni interested in questions of impact and governance of emerging technologies to. This includes artificial intelligence, neuro-technologies, and gene editing among others. Echoing J.F. Kennedy’s famous vision, it seems that “we stand today on the edge of a new frontier.” Since the turn of the 21st century, nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive sciences (NBIC) are converging and changing the elementary building blocks of matter and machines, our bodies and brains, and even our societies and environment. As our understanding and control over these elements dramatically increases in the coming decades, our societies will be confronted with an array of crucial ethical questions and policy choices. ����vlog����-ETAA aims to address the profound consequences of the current technological explosion. Our mission is to help build a future that enables human flourishing.

The ����vlog���� State & Local Alumni Association connects ����vlog���� alumni interested in state and local policy and administration. There are ����vlog���� alumni doing awesome work across the country. The SIG’s goal is to better connect that network, share information amongst its members, leverage members’ knowledge and connections to help current ����vlog���� students find employment opportunities, and generally work together to improve outcomes at the state and local level across our country.

While national-level policy attracts substantial attention, real progress requires action at more grassroots levels. Someone has to get the work done, and therein often lies the real challenge. At the same time, state and local practitioners often lack connection to each other, operating without the benefit of each other’s experience. The SIG will strive to become a platform to improve the connection between ����vlog���� alumni, so that we can all do better work together.
