FRIARS CLUB MEMBER HARVEY BELL

A longtime resident of New Jersey, Harvey Bell attended graduate school at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, where he earned a master of business administration. He went on to find professional success as a leader with major professional firms in New Jersey. Harvey Bell currently lives in the suburban central Essex County township of West Orange.

Across the Hudson River, he is an active member of the New York Friars Club, a comic organization that is perhaps best known for its off-color celebrity roasts. The Friars Club also undertakes a wide range of philanthropic efforts and sponsors regular events such as lectures, Q&As, and comedic performances.

Harvey Bell is a tremendous fan of former Friars Club chairman Frank Sinatra, who praised the organization’s “continuous good work for charity” as well as its “many great triumphs on the stages of the world.” Mr. Bell’s other hobbies include following New York Knicks basketball.
