FUTURE & MULTI-DATE EVENTS
Coalition Partner Multi-Series Events
NH School Funding Fairness Project
Pathways to Prosperity: What Makes New Hampshire Business-Friendly? – exploring the conditions employers say are essential to NH’s future success.
The first session, Public Education, takes place on Tuesday, July 28 from 12–1:30PM and will focus on findings from NHBSR’s employer roundtables, where business leaders consistently identified strong public schools as critical workforce infrastructure. Employers described school quality as a key factor in recruiting talent, retaining employees, and building thriving communities across the state. Employers also pointed to New Hampshire’s school funding system as a source of instability that affects families, businesses, and local economies alike.
If you’re a business owner, community leader, advocate, or simply interested in understanding how New Hampshire employers are thinking about the future of our state, we encourage you to join the conversation.
