Please join Conservation NH on January 17th at the Grappone Center in Concord for our 5th Annual Environmental Policy Breakfast – a news-making, thought-provoking morning and the greenest political event of the year! Free and open to the public! Doors open at 7:30 am. Register now.

Join a diverse group of Granite Staters – public officials, advocates, business leaders, and the general public – and discuss the environmental priorities state lawmakers will be facing in the upcoming session. What can we agree on? What issues continue to divide us? How can we find common ground?

Our dual theme reflects the hot-button issues for the coming year, and beyond: charting our energy future and safeguarding our natural resources for future generations. One way or another, the legislative session and upcoming elections will impact our New Hampshire Advantage – why we work, live and play in the Granite State.

The 2011 breakfast was a tremendous success, with over 350 legislators, advocates, agency heads and members of the business community.  This year’s all-star line-up of speakers are leaders from our statehouse and from the business community who will highlight NH’s Clean Energy Economy and NH’s Natural Infrastructure.

As always, this event is free and open to the public and made possible by the generous support of our environmental partners, businesses, and individuals. The Grappone Center’s Chef Trish will once again prepare breakfast menu that couldn’t be more tasty, with:

• Maple ham, bacon and eggs from Canterbury
• Hand-cut oatmeal and fresh roasted coffee from Gilmanton
• Fruit juices and delicious homemade breads.
