The Stay Work Play Rising Stars Awards is more than a celebration of New Hampshire’s remarkable young leaders — it’s the night for YPs to shine.

Presented by Eversource Energy and in partnership with NH Public Radio, we’re honoring the 603’s standout young leaders and the organizations who champion them — and we’re doing it in style.

Think bold energy, good vibes, and a room full of changemakers. Dress to impress, raise a glass, and be part of the momentum.
