‘Tis the season to be jolly and we were this week as we marked the 18th year we’ve hosted the Division of Economic Development annual meeting (with generous sponsorship from our friends at Public Service of New Hampshire.
We had a capacity crowd at the Inn at Church Landing in Meredith, we had great speakers … in all it was a great day.
Part of the fun was the awards presentation, recognizing all the good people, the great cooperation and the terrific work accomplished in the New Hampshire economy.
So without further ado:
Presented by Gov. Maggie Hassan and Department of Resources and Economic Development Commissioner Jeffrey Rose, the following were recognized:
Rose selected WS Badger Co. of Gilsum as the Company of the Year, recognizing it for its commitment to the community, the environment and its employees. Accepting the award was Emily Hall Warren, director of administration and strategic planning.
The New Hampshire Aerospace and Defense Export Consortium, organized last March, received the Commissioner’s Teamwork award, for its efforts in promoting two growing sectors in the Granite State. Accepting the award were Tina Kasim, left, program manager for the division’s International Trade Resource Center; Harry Johnson of Profile Metal Forming, Newmarket, and Dawn Wivell, consortium manager, of Portsmouth.
The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard received the Employee Recognition award, presented by Jim Hinson, left, of the state Department of Education –Vocational Rehabilitation. The award recognized the shipyard for its inclusive hiring practices. Accepting for the shipyard were Debbie Jennings, president, Local 4, of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, and Paul O’Connor, president of the Federal Employees Metal Trade Council.
Kathleen Callahan of the New Hampshire Business Review received Rose’s media award, which recognizes a journalist each year for his or her coverage of the state’s economy.
The Division of Economic Development, part of the New Hampshire Department for Resources and Economic Development, is the single point of contact for New Hampshire businesses needing assistance and resources to grow and thrive, as well as for out-of-state companies looking to expand or relocate in the state.

Passion….the dictionary describes it as any powerful or compelling emotion. In terms of business, it’s what drives the creativity to innovate and stirs the desire to excel in the boardroom and the shop floor. Without passion, there is no development, no forward momentum, no reason to wonder.

Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places…..but aisle nine of the supermarket?
 If you’d like to know what sort of wild inspiration I derived for a blog posting from a maze of shopping carts, check out my latest piece for the NHBR Network at this address: http://www.nhbrnetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-message-in-a-maze.
