\; \; \; \; On behalf of Governor Lynch and the Governor's Jobs Cabinet\, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to the \;Commissioners' Regional Business Outreach session scheduled for Friday\, May 21st at 7:30 a.m. at the Manchester Community College (1066 Front Street\, Manchester).

\; \; \; This two-hour session is the result of feedback from recent Governor's Jobs Cabinet Roundtables that were held throughout the state. Many business owners had expressed an interest in learning more about the free services offered by state government as well as to have a forum to ask questions that would help their companies grow and thrive in the Granite State.

\; \; \; \; To that end\, we've developed these sessions where not only will you have the opportunity to listen to brief presentations by each of our commissioners\, you'll also have a chance to meet with the commissioners and their staff members one-on-one following the event.

\; \; \; \; Here's a list of our Commissioners and some \;of the presentation topics they're planning to address at the event:

NH Employment Security (Tara Reardon) - The State's Job Match System\, the new Unemployment Insurance computer system and the NH Working Initiative. \;
