Legislative Landscape & Policy Forum
2026-03-18 08:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | LaBelle Winery, 14 NH-111, Derry, NH, 03038, United States
Join fellow businesses from across the state to bridge the gap between regional workforce needs and the 2026 legislative landscape. Building on the momentum of our Regional Workforce Roundtables, this forum is our opportunity to validate key findings, solidify shared principles, and understand how policy priorities connect to the 2026 legislative session.
We’ll hear updates on legislation affecting our policy priority areas—Sustainability and Clean Energy, Welcoming Workplaces, and Critical Workforce Issues (Housing, Childcare, and Education)—and work collaboratively to develop NHBSR’s advocacy positions. Invited legislators will join for dialogue and relationship-building in an informal, business-focused setting.
Whether you participated in a regional roundtable or are joining the conversation for the first time, this event offers a chance to connect with fellow business leaders, understand the policy landscape, and contribute to our collective advocacy strategy.
What to Expect

Breakfast and Networking: Connect with business leaders from across the state
Legislative Landscape Updates: Hear from experts tracking legislation in our policy priority areas—what’s happening now and what business leaders need to pay attention to
Synthesis and Validation: Review insights gathered from regional roundtables and confirm they reflect your experiences
Collaborative Dialogue: Work together to develop shared principles on workforce infrastructure that New Hampshire businesses can collectively support
Legislative Connection: Opportunity to connect directly with invited legislators in informal dialogue (not a traditional legislative breakfast or advocacy event)
Action Planning: Identify how business priorities connect to policy opportunities and what comes next

Breakfast will be served.
