Legislative Advocacy

Legislative Advocacy is the cornerstone of the services offered by the NH Retail Association. Understanding state laws that govern your business is essential. It’s crucial to ensure your business remains safeguarded against the ongoing threats of rising taxes and legislative mandates that drive up operational costs. The NH Retail Association guarantees this protection through a dedicated government affairs firm, Demers, Prasol & Thomas, which effectively bridges the gap between legislators and the retail merchants we proudly represent.

Workers’ Compensation Trust

The Association Members Workers’ Compensation Trust is a self-funded workers’ compensation insurance program tailored for Retailers & Suppliers, Grocers & Suppliers, Restaurants, the Hotel & Hospitality Trade, and Golf & Country Clubs. This program provides money-saving rates, top-notch loss control, and the potential for dividend payments. Since its inception in 2004, our Workers’ Compensation Trust has grown to include over 440 member businesses and generates premiums exceeding $2.7 million. We have distributed $2.5 million in dividends back to our participants.

Providing a retirement plan for your employees is essential, and we understand that navigating this process can be challenging. The NH Retail Association is proud to introduce the Alliance of State Retail Associations 401K Plan and Trust, pioneering the first multi-employer 401K plan in New Hampshire. Our program is designed to deliver a robust retirement plan that not only offers potential cost savings but also streamlines plan administration, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
