We invite you to join us for the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce's Citizen of the Year Celebration on Tuesday, March 30, 2021. This year’s event will be held virtually and livestreamed directly from the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in downtown Concord. The online event will feature lively networking and will highlight our community’s ingenuity in a year of unprecedented challenges. This event is generously presented by Merrimack County Savings Bank.
This event begins at 5 p.m. with a virtual cocktail reception taking place on Remo—an exciting new virtual event platform. (Learn more about Remo below.) After socializing with fellow business and nonprofit community leaders, we will recognize a deserving member of our community with the Chamber's top honor: the Citizen of the Year Award. We hope you'll join us to celebrate our 2020 recipient, to be announced! We’ll also recognize Nicki Clarke of Capitol Center for the Arts for her outstanding leadership as our 2019-2020 Board Chair.
Special thanks to our major sponsors: Corporate Sponsors, Eversource Energy Services, Grappone Automotive Group and Unitil, Event Sponsors, Bank of America and Orr & Reno, PA, Associate Sponsors, NHTI-Concord's Community College.
Each year, the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce presents the Citizen of the Year Award to honor a member of our community who has shown exceptional leadership, performance in several areas of community service over many years, and for contributing to the general benefit of the community. The nominee does not have to be a member of the Greater Concord Chamber or the business community.
The deadline to submit a nomination is 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 5, 2021. Learn more.

We’re beyond excited to introduce you to Remo—a new virtual event software that imitates the format of an in-person event! With the help of this new online platform, the Citizen of the Year Celebration attendees will be transported to a virtual venue where you can seek out friends and colleagues to socialize with via video chat. Visualize a map of a traditional in-person event venue displayed on your screen, where you can simply click on a table or group of chairs to appear at that location, or click next to a friend’s photo to jump into conversation with them. We’ll be using this software for our Citizen of the Year Celebration and Virtual Business Showcase. It’s easy to join a Remo event, and we’ll be providing comprehensive instructions so you can feel prepared to participate, no matter what your technological comfort level is. We’re looking forward to connecting with you in this new virtual event space!
