NH Progressive Summit-Embracing The New Wave-Sat June 17th
Thursday, May 11, 2017
This annual event provides space for new and existing activists to come together and hear from inspiring keynote speakers, as we collectively learn, train, and mobilize for the many issue and electoral challenges and opportunities we face together.
Last year’s NH Progressive Summit theme was “Standing on the Brink.” This year’s theme is “Embracing the New Wave.” It's time for a new, bold, progressive vision and community. We'll learn from past experiences and embrace the new opportunities in front of us to build a stronger, more united, more articulate progressive community and world. Whether it’s advancing pro-active legislation at the state and federal level, guarding against conservative rhetoric, or challenging corporate political corruption of our legislative and electoral process – the 2017 NH Progressive Summit will provide context and action to move forward together.

professionally engaged in school work. Members are appointed by the
governor and executive council. Five are selected, one each, from the
five executive councilor districts and two are selected from the public
at large. Except when appointed to fill the unexpired term of a previous
member, members serve for a five-year term and may serve up to two
consecutive terms. The Board must hold at least six regular meetings a
year.

dedicated to advocating for public education in the State. Born in
Boston, he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served in Vietnam
as an advisor to the Vietnamese Navy before starting a business and
nonprofit career. He founded, and for 12 years led, the Mountain
Association for Community Economic Development, a leading economic
development organization creating jobs and housing for low-income
families in Central Appalachia. In that role, he organized 100 Eastern
Kentucky banks to provide subsidized financing housing for low-income
families in Central Appalachia and founded Forward in the Fifth, the
first education advocacy organization dedicated to building common
ground among parents, administrators and teachers in hard-pressed
mountain schools. Mr. Duncan moved to New Hampshire in 1986 and resides
in New Castle.
