About the Montshire Corporate Associates

Montshire initiated a corporate membership program in 1979 and since that time the Museum and local business owners have enjoyed a variety of programs and discussions together. There have been many changes to the Upper Valley and the business climate in the nearly 25 years since this program began, and Montshire continues to grow and change with the community.

In consultation with many business leaders, Montshire created a new structure for its corporate friends in 2002 called the Montshire Corporate Associates (MCA).

This improved program will provide local businesses with new ways to engage their companies and employees with the Museum. The Montshire will gain extended opportunities to recognize the supportive role of businesses in our community.

The MCA Membership not only benefits the Montshire, it also helps your company with advertising, employee recruitment, and employee retention efforts in a very tangible way.
