Annual Events

BIA creates opportunities for our members to network with business, political and opinion leaders throughout the year, including our most popular annual events listed below.

Annual Dinner

The Annual Dinner is BIA's premier event, drawing 700 from around New Hampshire. Held in the fall, the Annual Dinner features presentation of two special awards - the BIA Lifetime Achievement Award and the New Hampshire Advantage Award.

The Lifetime Achievement Award honors a business leader who has demonstrated a commitment to leadership in his or her profession, community and New Hampshire. Recipients help shape their local communities and the state through their successful business endeavors, active participation in civic and town organizations, involvement in boards, and service to local and state government.

The New Hampshire Advantage Award honors individuals, businesses or organizations for extraordinary work on a specific initiative, event or project that helps preserve New Hampshire's special character and quality of life.

BIA Golf Classic

Held each June at Concord Country Club, the BIA Golf Classic is a morning scramble with shotgun start. Followed by a networking reception, lunch and awards presentation, the Golf Classic always draws a crowd.

Annual Business Meeting and Reception

BIA's annual meeting features the election of officers and directors and voting on important organizational matters. Held each May, the event features presentation of the annual Above and Beyond Awards to BIA members who have demonstrated outstanding service and commitment to BIA's mission during the past year.
