You need a 'harvard key' account to nominate alums for the Board of Overseers
All Harvard alums from all Harvard Schools (College, HBS, HLS, etc.) can vote for Overseers but they need their Harvard Key to login.
If you do not have your Harvard Key account setup, the first thing to do is to check your email. if you search from "key.harvard.edu" you might find a link from HarvardKey asking you to setup your account. If you do not have this email / this does not work for you, follow the directions below.
