Annual Meeting

Every year, CAPSC convenes community members, partners, and leaders to join us for a celebration of CAPSC’s accomplishments over the last year and the accomplishments we have made together as a community. The event typically includes breakfast, networking, a brief presentation, keynote speaker, and the announcement of the prestigious Mission and Champion awards. It’s a powerful community-driven event that brings together leaders from across Strafford County!

The 2023 Annual Meeting was held on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, at Flag Hill Distillery and Winery in Lee. Thank you to Flag Hill, our sponsors, our attendees, and everyone else who helped make the event joyful and one to remember!

2023 Keynote Speaker

Haydin Simmons, New Hampshire’s 2023 Kid Governor, was the keynote speaker for the 2023 Annual Meeting.

The Kid Governor program is a statewide civics program for Granite State students. Haydin, a student at Pollard Elementary School in Plaistow, was elected by her peers after running on a platform of ending poverty and hunger in New Hampshire. Haydin eloquently and passionately talked about the challenges children and adults are facing and how communities can come together to help. Thank you, Haydin, for sharing your passion and ideas with us! We look forward to continuing to work with you to end poverty and hunger!
