join the party
+ kickoff summer 2026 with us
It’s graduation time, and we want you there to help us cheer on the next generation of New Hampshire leaders.
Over the last six months, this incredible group has shown up, spoken up, and stepped up — growing as individuals and as change-makers ready to shape the future of our state.
Now it’s time to celebrate their journey and the community that made it possible.
Whether you’re a young professional, community champion, or just someone who loves seeing people rise...you’ll leave inspired, connected, and full of pride for what’s next.
This free event is open to all and generously hosted by our friends at Harpoon Queen City Center, with support from our program sponsors at Rise Private Wealth Management, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC.
