Above & Beyond Award

The purpose of the Above and Beyond Award is to thank BIA members who go above and beyond the call of duty, often without attention or appropriate acknowledgement. Recipients are selected by BIA’s staff. The award winners contributions benefit not just BIA and its members, but the greater New Hampshire business community.

The Above and Beyond Award is BIA's way of acknowledging members work publicly.
