service. Our members have a direct fiscal impact on our state, representing over 20% of NH’s retail sales. They also invest in land, buildings and infrastructure and create over 11,000 jobs. Lastly, our members are active in our community and donate to hundreds of local charities. What do you see as the benefit of being an NHADA member? The number one benefit of being an NHADA member is having a sense of community and a voice in your industry. We monitor over 1,000 bills annually and when legislation or regulatory material has an impact on our industry, we collectively rise to the occasion. Your voice at home is louder than ours at the State House, and each and every member matters. We also have great strong relationships with our legislators and regulators, which gets us a seat at the table as part of the discussions. What are your goals as President? My goal as President is to empower our professional staff and board as much as possible to execute our Strategic Plan. Adopted in February, this plan sets our goals and objectives for the next three years. The plan can be reviewed in detail on page seven, but in essence, it all comes back to helping our members succeed. I also hope to continue to modernize the NHADA workplace and be similar to our member businesses, a great place to work. What help do you need from members to accomplish those goals? Participation. Our initiatives all rely on member engagement, from our events and training to our governmental advocacy. When NHADA contacts you, it’s for a reason, so use your powerful voice! The number one benefit of being an NHADA member is having a sense of community and a voice in your industry.
