NASHUA, NH – The Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce celebrated its 96th Annual Gala and Citizen
of the Year Celebration this past Wednesday, November 6th at the Event Center by Marriott. Brian Law, President & CEO of Law Family Companies, was named the 2024 Citizen of the Year.
Law has made a profound impact on the greater Nashua community, leaving his mark on every aspect of the city. His dedicated service includes multiple terms on the boards of the Nashua Airport Authority (Vice Chair), Edgewood Cemetery Board of Trustees, Business and Industry (BIA), and Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, serving on the Advocacy Committee and as Board Chair in 2021. Brian has also served in leadership positions on the boards of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua and the NH Motor Transport Association.
A committed civic leader, Brian has been an active member of the Nashua Rotary Club for over 25 years. He stepped up to serve as President of the Rotary Club for a second time (previously 20 years ago) as a change in succession plan was impacted by the next President relocating. He enthusiastically accepted the challenge to once again serve as President in order to give other executive committee members time to prepare for the role. He has supported various initiatives alongside his wife Lisa, particularly the Nashua Center for the Arts, where they have provided both financial and vocal support. His tireless efforts were recognized in 2022 at the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce’s Eminence Awards with the prestigious Business Leader of the Year Award.
Brian’s enthusiasm for local events includes the support of Great American Downtown’s Holiday Stroll. A fun and festive tradition, his family’s truck proudly leads the annual tree-lighting parade down Main Street displaying his dedication to celebrating the heart of Nashua. Brian, a graduate of the Chamber’s inaugural Leadership Greater Nashua class in 1995, continues to support the program by graciously opening his home with his wife, Lisa, each year to host the Leadership Greater Nashua Alumni, showcasing their warmth and generosity.
Brian’s contributions to the business community as President/CEO and Chair of the Board of Law Family Companies cannot be argued. The Law Family Company has created jobs for hundreds in the area, serving as a model for family-run businesses. They have also provided financial support to numerous local nonprofits, including The Front Door Agency, Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter, and the YMCA of Greater Nashua, among many others. Brian is a true leader, and his collaborative leadership style inspires those around him including us and many other business owners and civic leaders in our community.
He has transitioned his family business to meet the needs and challenges of the 21st century while still holding on to the morals, values, and integrity that his ancestors planted and sowed over the last 140+ years.
Of special note, Brian is the third generation of the Law family to receive the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce’s distinguished Citizen of the Year honor, following in the footsteps of his grandfather George Law (1972) and Father Jack Law (2009).
