Join former NH Governor John Lynch, Granite State hospitality industry leader Alex Ray, and the co-founders of nonprofit Common Man for Ukraine, who will share how four New Hampshirites ended up in a war zone and inspired 3,000 individuals and businesses to generously provide $2.5 million for food, generators and trauma counseling to Ukrainian orphans and displaced children struggling to survive the war—recognizing and highlighting the vital role Concord’s business community will play in the next phase of relief. This event is generously sponsored by The Duprey Companies and New Hampshire Public Radio.

Orr & Reno Legal Breakfast Series: Are you ready for new federal reporting requirements?

The Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce’s Legal Breakfast Series returns on Wednesday, May 17 from 8-9 a.m. at Orr & Reno, PA—45 South Main Street, 4th floor. The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) goes into effect on January 1, 2024. On that date, the federal government will begin collecting information about the “beneficial owners” of corporate entities throughout the United States. Beneficial owners are individuals who directly or indirectly own a company. What does this mean for you? Join us in person or on Zoom to find out who must report, what information must be included in the report, and when the report must be filed to avoid penalties.
