The Portsmouth Partnership is a group of volunteer business, professional and civic leaders who are committed to Portsmouth's economic development in the broadest possible sense. In pursuing a path toward a rich and rewarding quality of life for all of Portsmouth's citizens, the Partnership's members work to create job opportunities and tax revenue, to bring underutilized properties to their highest and best use, to identify and groom future leaders within the city, to directly support worthwhile non-profit organizations, to promote trade and tourism in Portsmouth's historic Olde Towne district, and to foster support for Portsmouth's public schools and their innovative programs. The Partnership has created several affiliates to effectively address these efforts: the Greater Portsmouth Development Corporation, the Partnership Development Corporation, the Lefcoe Leadership Foundation, the Portsmouth Partnership Foundation, and PortsEvents.
