Centennial Toasts
Over the course of 2025, the Council will hold a series of Centennial Toast cocktail receptions in each New England state as an opportunity to bring our members together to celebrate 100 years of connections and collaboration. In addition to NEC members, the Council is also inviting Governors and members of Congress from each state to attend, as well as past New Englander of the Year honorees from each state. Join us as we raise a glass and say Cheers to 100 Years!

New England Council Fellows Program
To commemorate the Council’s 100th anniversary, we are pleased to announce the establishment of the New England Council Fellows Program, whereby the Council will select a total of six non-profit organizations – one in each state – and will provide these organizations with $5,000 each to support the hiring of a summer intern to support their charitable mission. The goals of the program are twofold: to support worthy organizations with missions to provide important services in the region, and to help provide young adults with valuable work experience to prepare them for future career success.
