Leadership New Hampshire

Why Contribute?

Contributed Dollars for Scholarship Support

When Leadership New Hampshire (LNH) began only those who could afford the $3,500 tuition could participate. Now, thanks to contributed scholarship dollars, people from all industry sectors may access the extraordinary education and dialogue and the continued network that being an LNH graduate means.

A look at past associates tells the story. Where else but LNH will the Merrimack County Register of Probate work side-by-side with the COO for the Nashua School District? Where else but Leadership New Hampshire will the President of the Mount Washington Resort complete joint homework projects with the Director of Family Connections with the NH Department of Corrections? Where else but Leadership New Hampshire will the President of Ocean Bank and the Project Director of the NH Bar Associations Pro Bono Low Income Taxpayer Project get to meet the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in his office?

Together, these leaders learn New Hampshire. Together, they come to understand what the state has to offer in the future, and what it must protect against. Together, they emerge as educated and activated leaders ready to guide our state into the future.

All of this success depends upon the diversity of people in each Leadership class. The diversity of people in each class depends upon scholarship dollars.

Click here to make a gift to LNH. Your contribution will help provide scholarship tuition for a vital and engaged leader in our state whose work is important to our future -- but whose employment does not support the cost of tuition. Together we can build a community of informed leaders.
