Last month, 30 NH school counselors got together at Manchester Community College and had a terrific interactive experience learning firsthand about 21st century careers and career readiness. The reviews of this event were hugely positive (see attached on page 3-4). Round #2 is on Election Day, November 8th in Lebanon, NH. We will be touring and meeting leaders of Hypertherm Corp. and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital.

Last month Mark Holden (ABC), Pete McNamara (NHADA), Mike Somers (NHLRA), Emily Gagnon (ex of Albany / Saffron), Chancellor Ross Gittell (CCSNH), and President Susan Huard (MCC) really set a high bar. The dialog was tremendous — and energetically went both ways. We want to keep the momentum.
