1. Introductions

2. Building Communities in New Hampshire - a conversation with Executive Director, Rick Minard

Building Community in New Hampshire is a multi-ethnic self-help organization that assists refugees in New Hampshire to become American citizens.  BCNH, founded in 2009 as the Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire, and based in Manchester, also works with refugee populations to provide the skills and education they need to become "work ready." .  
 
Executive Director Rick Minard will talk about refugee resettlement, the value of welcoming refugees to our state, and why New Hampshire's  refugee communities may be an underutilized resource for employers looking for available and educated workers. He will be joined by Bhola Subedi, operations manager from CarePoint Plus in Manchester, a firm that hire scores of refugees and others for home-health care.

3. Paid Family Medical Leave, A New Approach

​Governor Sununu's Policy Director, David Bettencourt and Budget Director, Mac Zellem will be our guests to unveil a new proposal by the Governor to provide a voluntary paid family medical leave program.
