It’s Easterseals NH For the Gold! |
We’re proud to announce that Easterseals New Hampshire won a gold medal for Charity Event in the Best of the 603 as voted by Manchester Radio Group listeners.
Best of the 603 had over 2,500 New Hampshire businesses, organizations, and individuals competing. Over 50,000 votes were cast to find the top 3 spots of 243 categories.
While we're on the subject of events, hats off to the Development team for coordinating last weekend’s events to mark the anniversary of September 11 and raise funds for Veterans Count. Thanks to all the employees who organized, volunteered and attended On the Tarmac and the Thunder Over New Hampshire Air Show.

Strategic Planning Spotlights Staff
Phase Two of Strategic Planning is ongoing, but we are in the home stretch! In mid-October, a draft of the Strategic Plan will be brought before the Board of Directors, and communication with staff will begin in November.
In this week’s Cross-Organizational Leadership Team (COLT) meeting, President & CEO Maureen Beauregard emphasized how proud she is of all Easterseals employees and the perseverance you’ve shown throughout the past year. She said, “Your courage, your confidence, and your skills have grown tremendously. I know it’s been challenging, but we have grown stronger through this adversity." As we work through Strategic Planning, we know staff needs to be our number one priority.

Tech Tip: Secure Scanning How-To
For scan-to-email success: scan, send the scan to your Easterseals email address, then forward to intended recipients. When sending scans directly from the scanning device, only send them to yourself or Easterseals staff.
If you receive a scan that wasn’t intended for you, check the address and make sure you weren’t spoofed. If you do not recognize it, notify the sender and delete the email without opening the attachment to prevent compromising personal health information.
