Our 2020 Hampton Area Visitor’s Guide Dedication Late in 2019 we lost two icons that have worked at the Chamber for many years. Julie Leonard had a special connection to Hampton Beach where she and her family vacationed at Hampton Beach for many summers. She served as the Chamber’s Beach Office Manager for over twenty five years and built many lifelong friendships with many visitors as well as long term professional relationships with many of the seacoast business Julie Leonard owners. Lenny Joubert served the Chamber as the Craft Coordinator at the Annual Hampton Beach Seafood Festival for over twenty eight years and had a special relationship with crafters around New England which brought them back year after year. Therefore, the entire staff at the Chamber is dedicating this year’s visitor’s guide to both special ladies. We will miss both very much and never forget their unselfish commitment to the Hampton Area Chamber Lenny Joubert of Commerce.
