CPCNH Governance & Board of Directors

Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire is governed by the communities it serves. Our Board of Directors and a network of committees—composed of elected officials, municipal staff, and community volunteers—ensure that local leadership drives our mission to deliver affordable, resilient, and locally controlled energy solutions. Committee work shapes our strategic priorities and operations, with detailed records available in our Committee Reports and Meeting Minutes.

Meet Our Board of Directors

The Coalition is a partnership among cities, towns, and counties spanning the state of New Hampshire. Our Board of Directors is composed of local officials, municipal staff, and community volunteers elected from our membership to represent the diverse interests and energy goals of our communities. Together, they provide strategic oversight, guide key initiatives, and ensure CPCNH remains accountable to the people it serves.
