Let’s talk about how to solve this urgent problem.  Antioch University New England (AUNE)  is hosting the Stay in New Hampshire Strategy Breakfast, a statewide peer-to-peer strategy session during a free breakfast, 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., Friday, November 18.

The public is welcome. Join other people from around the state, including representatives from AUNE, New Hampshire Business for Social Responsibility,  Stay Work Play, Keene Young Professionals Network of the Greater Keene Chamber of Commerce, and AUNE’s Net Impact Chapter.

Kate Luczo, executive director of  Stay Work Play-New Hampshire, will give a short keynote talk. Stay Work Play-NH is a nonprofit organization which furthers the goal of the 55% Initiative to encourage at least fifty-five percent of new graduates to stay in New Hampshire. Luczo was formerly program director for New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility (NHBSR).

You’ll also be able to meet, Michelle Veasey, NHBSR’s new executive director, who will attend.

‘Catalysts for change’
Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, wrote “…we must be catalysts for change in our own right and exercise our influence and responsibility as business leaders and entrepreneurs.”  Schultz calls for a “peer to peer job strategy” that uses a collaborative approach to get people back to work.   We want you to be part of this development strategy.

The goal is to identify concrete ways to keep our young professionals living and working in New Hampshire.  We want to address this problem and invite you to be part of the solution. We expect our strategy session to come up with concrete action steps on:

  • How universities can best prepare their students and young professionals to meet the needs of New Hampshire businesses and nonprofits.
  • How nonprofits and businesses in the state can learn about the skills and talents  New Hampshire graduates can offer, and create opportunities to hire them, even in tight financial times.
  • How we can make sure that young professionals are part of the future of New Hampshire businesses and nonprofits.

Schedule
8:15-8:30 a.m.   Continental Breakfast served
8:30-9:00 a.m.   Welcome and keynote speaker
9-10:30  a.m.     Facilitated strategy-building conversation

The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Stephanie Tickner, stickner@antioch.edu or call 603-283-2418.

Get in the Pumpkinfest Spirit a little early this year!

Every year Keene State College carves hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins for pumpkin fest in a giant carve-fest on the quad they call “Pumpkin Lobotomy.” It’s a fun time for everyone, and many of the clubs on campus also get involved by bringing food and games.

We want to invite Keene Young Professionals and their families (and others!) to join us, enjoy kid-friendly games, make a Halloween Masks or just purchase some of the handmade “spooky” candy we’ll be selling.

It will be a great opportunity to meet some of the SIFE team and learn about the many projects we’re working on.
