Boulanger to head BCEDC

Jennifer Boulanger, finance director of the Belknap County Economic Development Council since 2006, has been named the organization’s new executive director.

She succeeds Eliza Leadbeater, who retired April 13 after almost 15 years at the helm of the regional development organization.

Before joining the council, Boulanger was vice president of commercial lending for Ocean National Bank in Concord. From 2001 to 2003, Boulanger was on loan from Citizens Bank to the BCEDC as an underwriter.

The BCEDC serves businesses and organizations in the 11 Belknap County municipalities, offering a range of support and technical services. – JEFF FEINGOLD
