The NHLA Board and its committee members continue to work to bring you all a full offering of educational events throughout this summer season. I wanted to take the time to recognize a couple of people who have been instrumental in our success in putting the events on this year’s calendar.

Amy Papineau, Education Coordinator, and Mike Barwell, Education Chair, have been instrumental in enhancing our educational event offerings. These two volunteers make it to our Board Meeting each month, host an Educational Committee meeting each month via zoom, and log in many hours the rest of the month communicating with sponsors, venues, vendors, etc.

It’s people like Amy and Mike who make NHLA what it is today. The love for the industry and the people in it here in New Hampshire shows through in the work they do. We thank you both!

In order to continue making strides in our offerings, we need to continue to grow the Association. We implore you all to recommend NHLA to friends in the industry. Bring them along to an event with you to show them the value.

Our work continues to build the foundation for our next growing phase through bringing on an administrative service to aid with accounting, membership, and social media. Our new website now provides the platform to do so.

With the right group of volunteers, new administrative support, and your continued support we are poised to grow NHLA far beyond what it has been!
