NH Retail Association's Nancy Kyle to Retire

President and CEO of the New Hampshire Retail Association, Nancy C. Kyle, will be retiring at the end of 2022 after 28 years with the Association.

The Board of Directors have selected the Retail Association of Maine (RAM) to provide full association management to the NH Retail Association. Curtis Picard, President/CEO of Maine, will become President/CEO of NH Retail upon Nancy's retirement.

Nancy joined the NH Retail Association, then called the Retail Merchants Assoc of NH, in 1994 as the Membership and Marketing Director. Several years later, she was named President and CEO. During her tenure, she presided over many projects and initiatives in support of the association's members and the community.

She started the NH Retail Political Action Committee, and implemented Retailer, Legislator and Law Enforcement Partner of the Year Awards to recognize excellence. She developed a Self-Funded Workers' Comp Program for members in 2004 and in 2009 played a pivotal role in getting a substantial grant from the state, forming an Energy Efficiency Program for members.
