New Hampshire’s young leaders to be honored

The New Hampshire Union Leader and the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire will honor 40 emerging leaders at a reception to be held March 8 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Center of New Hampshire, Manchester. The young men and women were elected to the Union Leader’s 10th “40 Under Forty” class, a program that recognizes emerging leaders with a record of professional and volunteer accomplishment in New Hampshire. The event is sponsored by Citizens Bank.

Each year, the Union Leader seeks nominations from all over the state and features the winners in a special publication of the business section. This year’s winners appeared in the Jan. 31 edition of the newspaper. Those most notable to our area include:

• Matthew Bernard of Milford and President of Brinestone located on 101A in Amherst, NH

Tickets to the reception are $45 per person. Members of a young professionals organization may attend for a special rate of $30 per person. Register online at nhbia.org or call 603-224-5388, x113 for more information.
