In Loving Memory of Laurel Adams, President of REDC
It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Laurel Adams, President of the Regional Economic Development Center (REDC) of New Hampshire.
Laurel was more than a leader—she was a visionary, a mentor, and a tireless advocate for economic opportunity and community development across the state. Her sudden departure leaves a tremendous void not only within REDC, but throughout the many communities and businesses she touched through her dedication, wisdom, and compassion.
Under her leadership, REDC expanded its impact across New Hampshire, helping entrepreneurs and small businesses grow, thrive, and weather unforeseen challenges. Laurel believed in the power of local people to shape their futures—and she worked every day to support them.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Laurel will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment to service. She built relationships rooted in trust and respect, and she inspired those around her to lead with heart and purpose.
As we mourn this unexpected and heartbreaking loss, we also celebrate the incredible legacy Laurel leaves behind. Her passion, leadership, and spirit will continue to guide the work of REDC and the broader economic development community.
