NHLRA Membership

Membership Matters.

We’re here to improve the climate for hospitality businesses in NH through advocating for pro-business policies, offering exclusive savings programs, promoting the industry, and providing training and resources. From introducing landmark legislation to personalized support for business owners, we exist to give every hospitality business in NH the best chance for success. 
 

The strength of our association lies in the diversity of our membership. From family-owned small restaurants to grand historic hotels, from seasonal attractions to fine dining, we represent all the types of businesses in NH that welcome guests and serve their local communities. While the reasons they join are as varied as the businesses themselves – some motivated by our advocacy work, others for savings and discounts – they all share one belief in common. Together, we’re a powerful voice for ensuring that every hospitality business in NH can grow and thrive.

What Are Our Members Saying?

“The NHLRA is such an invaluable resource to navigating the hospitality industry in NH that I’m not sure how any business could thrive without being a member. If you’re in the hospitality industry and you carry worker’s comp insurance, your membership is effectively paid for. And amidst today’s workforce crisis, the staff is working tirelessly to offer much-needed resources to members.”

– Jay Bolduc, Former Managing Operator, Great NH Restaurants
