More than ever, it’s vital that businesses communicate effectively, internally and externally
Restaurants are a driving force in New Hampshire, always generously supporting our communities in time of need with fundraising support. The COVID-19 concern is real, and it’s important that you understand that supporting your local restaurants through this time benefits us all. There are over 69,500 foodservice jobs in NH…10 percent of the NH workforce! We must work together to ensure that we can hit the ground running when this time of uncertainty is over.
New Hampshire’s nurses have demonstrated leadership by providing novel, quality solutions to healthcare challenges for many years.
When I was younger, I didn’t know what being “in the closet” meant intellectually, but emotionally, I got it loud and clear. I was well aware that I was somehow different, and that those differences were more of a problem — not a blessing.
