A Message from our President

Happy New Year, everyone!

We had a wonderful time last week at our January meet up at Merrimack Ten Pin for our annual bowling tournament. The venue has new ownership and management and we had an even better time than last year. And the competition was spirited! There were some very good bowlers who brough some serious game. Congratulations to our winning team: Messina Flooring and Carpet!

Get your tickets!!! Cornerstone Awards!!! Tuesday, January 28^th from 5:30 – 8:30 at the Grappone Center in Concord. As I write this, we have over 275 people signed up to attend. And our Keynote Speaker will be Governor Kelly Ayotte. (that has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?) There will also be several other dignitaries attending as well. Check your email for the link so you can get your tickets. It’s a great way to meet our new state board members and support our entire state effort while taking the time to connect and celebrate some truly amazing work that happens right here in the Granite State. I look forward to seeing you there.

Next month, on Feb 5th we have a great education line up for you. Thanks to our Vice President, Alison Milioto and Lisa, our Executive Officer, we have both the NH Labor and NH Insurance Departments coming to visit with us. They are going to do an overview of how their groups serve us and also allow time for us to ask questions and get help on things that we need for our businesses. It’s a great opportunity to make connections that you may need now or in the future with state agency employees who are there to help us. These two groups have to constantly navigate changing laws and landscapes much like we have to and it’ll be a great opportunity to make connections for when you need them the most. This event will be held at Cohen Title’s Community Education Room in Bedford, so it’ll be centrally located for everyone. Please register right away when we send out the notice as the seating is limited. We’ll have coffee and donuts!

It's been a great start to the new year. We hope to see you at an event soon. Be on the lookout for more great stuff to come. Thank you for your support and your membership. We are proud to serve you.
