NHBCA IN THE NEWS

 

The Union Leader business editor Mike Cote attended the Business in the Arts Awards. In his follow up blog he quoted leadership winner Michael L'Ecuyer: "We all talk about sports often. We talk about the arts a little less often. At least it seems that way," said L'Ecuyer, who previously served as chairman of the Palace Theatre Board of Trustees. "The people at the event the other night - we're part of a group of people who in this state make sure the arts and the cultural community has its place."
