A screening committee made up of members of the NH Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (NHACCE) had the difficult task of paring the remarkable field of applicants to three semifinalists in each category. From there, a Panel of Excellence with executives from the 2011 Business of the Year award winners selected this year's recipients after careful consideration and great debate.
Awards will be presented at a special luncheon on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel at the Center of NH in Manchester. Tickets for the luncheon are $55 per person or $440 for a table of eight. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the NHACCE scholarship fund.
