A Message from our President

Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a fun, safe, and restful holiday season. Your board has been hard at work putting together what is going to be an amazing 2024! We can’t wait to share all of our plans with you.

We started off the new year with bowling at Merrimack Ten Pin. Congratulations to all of our winners! We had spirited competition, good food, and great networking. It was another Sold Out event.

Speaking of an event that will sell out, at the end of the month I hope you join us at the Cornerstone Awards Dinner at the Grappone Center on January 30^th. It is an amazing event where we showcase the “Best of the Best” of our members and show our invited guests how great New Hampshire Builders are. We also swear in our brand-new Board of Directors for the State. It’s a wonderful way to visit with our colleagues from all over New Hampshire. Congratulations, in advance, to all the winners!

Lastly, I’d like to give a “Shout Out” to you: our members. We are so grateful for you. Your overwhelming response to our events, your kindness and gratitude, keeps us going and helps to motivate us to continue to work hard for you. In that light: we want your input. Our wonderful board members, Alison Milioto and Dave Hazel, will be putting together a survey that you’ll see in your email to give us some feedback on your priorities for the coming year. Tell us what you love and tell us what else you may want for your business. We plan to use this feedback to help shape the rest of our programming. Afterall, we work for you and we want to take care of you and your needs.

2024 has started off as a resounding success and we couldn’t be more excited for what is to come. We look forward to seeing you at our many events planned throughout the year.

Happy New Year,

Ray
