Sponsorships
The Central NH Chamber has an exciting slate of events planned for 2023!
Popular networking events, such as our Business After Hours gatherings and our Annual Meeting attract professionals from throughout our region and beyond.
We’ve also added new events, such as Member Showcases, a Heart of 603 Scavenger Hunt, and a Tiki Hut Boat Cruise to provide additional opportunities for you to connect with the Central NH community in a powerful way.
Because the Chamber is a non-profit organization with limited funds, the generosity of our members through sponsorships and other investments allows us to do the work we do in advocating for, connecting, and empowering entrepreneurs, business owners, and organizations within the 23 towns in our region.
The sponsorship opportunities listed below provide a variety of platforms to boost your visibility, support the Central NH business community, and establish important relationships.
Whether you’re a small business just starting out or a major regional employer, there are sponsorships suited to every budget.
