PORTSMOUTH, N.H., October 4, 2019- Leadership Seacoast, a local non-profit committed to developing engaged, knowledgeable and effective leaders, recently celebrated its 30th year of creating informed community members and inspired advocates with a special celebration at Portsmouth Harbor Events and Conference Center. The event was sponsored by Exeter Hospital, Long Term Care Partners, Finn Wealth Advisors, Chinburg Properties and Revision Energy.
Founded in 1988, by a group of people concerned about community engagement in the region, Leadership Seacoast is designed to allow members a deep dive into the issues and increase knowledge of how communities work while exploring diverse ideas, resources, and practices. More than 150 companies large and small have sponsored the non-profit which has graduated more than 1,000 alumni.

The evening celebrated the Faces of Leadership, by featuring the countless alumni that embraced a community challenge and worked toward a solution. The organization will continue to deliver their flagship program and also announced a renewed commitment toward engaging alumni.
“We have so many alumni, inspired to take action as a result of their participation in our community engagement program,” said Leadership Seacoast Executive Director Lori Waltz-Gagnon. “We still have work to do to prepare emerging leaders to be active civic citizens.”
