A proud member of the 2019 Class, Ms. Ryan was also nominated by her class of 40 associates to serve as the graduation keynote speaker.

“It was a great honor to be selected for this important program and for the opportunity to be included in this group of impressive and diverse leaders from around New Hampshire,” said Susan C. Ryan, CEO & President of Spaulding Youth Center. “I am most appreciative of my board of directors, who not only advocated for my participation in the Leadership New Hampshire program but also generously enabled me to devote the time each month to fully embrace the experience. Their support will be put to good use as I carry all I’ve learned forward and apply it to the work I do around the state on behalf of Spaulding Youth Center.”
Each year’s class of LNH associates attends 11 required and one optional seminar days held around the state.
