Leadership NH opens applications

CONCORD — Leadership New Hampshire recently opened applications for the Class of 2026. Individuals interested in joining New Hampshire’s statewide leadership program can apply until March 15. 

Each year, Leadership New Hampshire selects a cohort of diverse and accomplished individuals to participate in its 10-month leadership program. Participants explore critical issues facing the Granite State, gain a deeper understanding of its regions and communities, and create high level, statewide connections. 

“Our program is designed to create a community of informed and engaged leaders,” said LNH Executive Director Will Stewart. “We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about making a difference and want to deepen their understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing our state so that they can make even more of a positive impact here.” 

LNH sessions cover a wide range of topics, including education, healthcare, business and economy, arts and culture, government, public safety, the environment, and more. Through experiential learning, site visits, and discussions with subject-matter experts and other leaders in their fields, participants gain a comprehensive view of New Hampshire’s strengths and complexities. 

Applications are open to anyone who has lived or worked in New Hampshire for at least one year. The program seeks candidates with demonstrated leadership, a commitment to community involvement, and a desire to contribute to the state’s future.
