#whynhbca with Barbara Couch

Art all around

“As a leader in human resources for decades, I can easily point to the arts as a factor in recruiting and retaining Associates to our company. Our community is more vibrant because of the accessibility to a wide variety of arts. We have museums open to all, performing art centers with strong educational outreach, and art galleries with programs for the elderly as well as a college arts center that embraces all members of the community alongside its students. The absence of arts during this pandemic has created a void deep and wide.

Grateful am I to the NHBCA for bringing businesses together to lift up and celebrate the arts statewide. It’s an honor to serve on the Board.”
