The LNH Program

Leadership New Hampshire's Sessions take place on weekdays from September through May. Program days run from 8AM - 5PM, with three overnight sessions. The program begins with an evening Reception in June and an overnight Retreat in September. Participation in the Retreat is MANDATORY. Please click here for a full calendar of program events. Associates have Action Assignments each session of approximately 2-6 hours, and are encouraged to outline and track their personal learning goals during the year. Tuition covers reading materials, lectures, meals, breaks, and one overnight cost (double occupancy) associated with each program day. To graduate, participants must attend at least 10 days in their entirety. Candidates should have the support and commitment of their employers. Due to space and insurance considerations, participants may not bring dependents to the program sessions.
Tuition is $3,500 for the year. Applications are available for Financial Aid. All Financial Aid forms must be completed and returned within two weeks of acceptance to the program. Please see the application below for more details.
