Nominate a Business That's Doing the Right Thing

The Employment Leadership Award committee invites you to nominate your best employer for the 2014 Employment Leadership Award.

The Employment Leadership Award is presented each year to New Hampshire employers who recognize the skills and contributions that people with disabilities bring to the workforce and who have adopted inclusive policies and hiring practices that allow people with disabilities to fairly compete for employment.   

Nominees are submitted by employment providers and businesses throughout the state and nominations are evaluated based on the company’s efforts to: create opportunities that assist people with disabilities to develop the skills they need to obtain competitive employment; adopt inclusive hiring practices that allow people with disabilities to fairly compete for employment; and engage community partners to become a more diverse workplace.

The 2014 Employment Leadership Award winners will be featured in a special section appearing in the September 2014 issue of Business NH Magazine and formally recognized at the Sixth Annual Statewide Employer Recognition Ceremony to be held on October 16 at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester.

Applications are due June 30 and will only be accepted by email at Jim.Hinson@doe.nh.gov. Please send nomination in word format as an attached file. To download application, click here. Applications in PDF format will not be accepted.
