Each year, the BIA recognizes individuals whose extraordinary service and dedication to its mission have made a meaningful impact on the state’s business climate.

“With nearly 20 years of professional experience in government relations, Ben is a key advocate for the medical community and an important partner and ally in BIA’s advocacy efforts,” said BIA President & CEO Michael Skelton. “We rely on Ben to help the BIA navigate the litany of health care-related policy issues at the State House, and he has been a trusted voice to our policy team on complex legislation. The BIA is fortunate to have many great trade association partners, and the NH Hospital Association is one of the strongest, thanks to the engagement and leadership of Ben.”
Steve Ahnen, President of the NHHA, praised Bradley’s recognition and contributions to the health care community.
“Ben is deeply respected for his thoughtful leadership, collaborative approach and unwavering commitment to advancing policies that support New Hampshire’s hospitals, health care workforce and patients,” said Ahnen. “This recognition is incredibly well deserved and reflects the tremendous impact Ben has had not only within the health care community, but across New Hampshire’s broader business environment.”
Bradley works closely with state policymakers, health care leaders and business organizations to advance legislative and regulatory priorities that strengthen access to care and support New Hampshire’s health care system.
