CONWAY — At a Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council “Eggs & Issues” online forum hosted by Executive Director Jac Cuddy on Oct. 7, and presented by Merrill Lynch and HEB Engineers, several outdoor recreation leaders discussed ways to collaborate to continue to grow the outdoor industry in the state and the valley as well as husband responsible use of our resources.
Participating in the forum were Scott Crowder, director of New Hampshire’s newly created Office of Outdoor Recreation Industry Development; Jeff Leich, executive director of the New England Ski Museum based in Franconia and North Conway; and Tyler Ray, director of Granite Outdoor Alliance, a locally based advocacy non-profit supporting the state’s outdoor industry.
