Fiorina Comes to Concord Tuesday to Talk Business

The New Hampshire House Business Coalition, in partnership with the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, announced today that they will host a series of business roundtable events with the major presidential candidates from both parties beginning next week, according to a press statement.

The first speaker will be Carly Fiorina of California, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and a likely Republican first-in-the-nation presidential primary candidate.

“We want to provide an opportunity for employers and legislators to learn more about the candidates’ specific ideas for improving the business climate and economy,” said New Hampshire House Business Caucus founder and chairwoman, state Rep. Laurie Sanborn, R-Bedford. “As state representatives, it’s so important that we regularly interact with the business community and employers in the state to hear their concerns and ideas.”

The event will be held at The Barley House on North Main Street in Concord on Tuesday, April 28. The event is free and lunch will be served. Space is limited and RSVPs are required.

Tim Sink, the president of the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, said the series “provides a wonderful opportunity for the more than 900 member businesses to really get to know the candidates and understand their positions on key issues.”

Fiorina became the first woman to lead a Fortune 50 business and grew it to the 11th most profitable company in the United States. In her six years as Chairman and CEO, she doubled its revenues to $90 billion, more than quadrupled its growth to 9 percent, tripled the rate of innovation to 11 patents a day, and achieved market leadership in every market and product category.
