On April 12, the Center for Ethics in Society is hosting a Recovery Housing Roundtable Forum that will bring together stakeholders from around the state, as well as national experts, to discuss the challenges that recovery homes are facing in New Hampshire.

The day will include a featured speaker, facilitated roundtable discussion, and a panel presentation, all of which will educate the audience on how these homes are vital for their residents and protected by the Fair Housing Act, but also provide opportunities for community members to share their insights about the challenges facing these homes (including fears and misconceptions), and solutions to those challenges.

This will take place in the Auditorium of the NH Institute of Politics. Breakfast and lunch are included. Register here →

The Center for Ethics in Society is proud to host Women of Influence, a three-part series devoted to topics relating to women’s success in business and governance. 

Session Three: Entrepreneurship - April 19, 5:00 - 7:00 pm

Innovative entrepreneurship requires courage, creativity, and patience, and often relies on community support. In the third and final session of this Women of Influence series, panelists will share how they started their own businesses, the support they received, and how their businesses have improved their communities.

Register here!

This three-part series will examine challenges and opportunities in getting a career started, the importance of a good mentor in professional development, and the courage, creativity, and patience required for innovative entrepreneurship. Research indicates that companies and organizations with a greater number of women at the executive or board level tend to perform better financially. Consequently, allowing women to progress without glass ceilings or sticky floors is a good business decision, as well as a great benefit to the economy and society overall, particularly in a context of talent shortage. Parity at the decision-making level of an organization is crucial. Enabling women at all levels to achieve career advancement creates a pipeline of female talent and increases the representation of women in sectors where they have historically been underrepresented. 

Sponsored in part by the NH Business Review.

Location Information
The series will take place in the Dana Center at Saint Anselm College.

All members of the public are welcome to join us for one or all three sessions!
