About the CEO Forum at the University of New Hampshire

The CEO Forum

The CEO Forum, established in 1997, is an outreach program of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics and the Graduate & Professional Development Center created to serve CEOs, presidents and senior managers of companies in northern New England.
