Good Health -- The Key to Strong Human Capital
|
|
-- by Steve Rowe, EH President
|
 Good health is to human capital what a net is to a fisherman. Like hauling in the bounty of the fisherman's catch, good health increases our supply of knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and the senses. Good health also increases our confidence, creativity and ability to learn. It expands our risk-taking tolerance and serves as a buffer against harmful stress.

| | Power, Privilege and Difference with Dr. Allan Johnson |
More than 200 community partners attended EH's March 23rd annual meeting on the topic of Power, Privilege and Difference. Dr. Allan Johnson explained the topic of white privilege in a way that revealed the truth. Many well-meaning people never have to think of the privilege they were born into and never have to define themselves by race. Dr. Johnson revealed the flip side of privilege and discussed the systems that perpetuate racism. Good, well-meaning people participate in these systems, often unknowingly. The biggest enabler to structural racism is silence. It's up to all of us to help shape more equitable systems for all.

The Economic Benefits of NH's Foreign Born Population
As has always been the case, New Hampshire's economic future relies on recruiting and retaining a vibrant workforce. But we face particular challenges today that must be addressed if we are to have a stable and productive workforce for the future. Over the past decade, fewer workers have moved into New Hampshire from other U.S. states and a growing number of older adults are leaving the workforce. Immigrants have been a steady resource for filling workforce gaps -- in both highly skilled and entry-level positions. The Endowment partnered with the NH Center for Public Policy Studies to create An Overview of NH's Foreign-Born Population
