George Epstein began his professional life as a teacher at Kennett High School in Conway, New Hampshire. Even then, in the 1970s, he was the "go to" guy for organizations and companies in the Mount Washington Valley who were trying to harness computer technology to make themselves more efficient and effective. At only 28 he was offered a job as an assistant Superintendent of Schools in Vermont. Fortunately for us fate intervened in the form of an election that made Epstein rethink his move and he remained in the Conway area where over the course of the next five years he launched the Echo Group. Today, the Echo Group has been honored among the best businesses to work for in New Hampshire and in 2012 George Epstein was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year by the New Hampshire High Technology Council at its 24th annual awards awards dinner. Echo has served the information management needs of the behavioral health and human service markets nationwide for over 30 years now. In the meantime Epstein has served as the Moderator of his town's School District and Town meeting for over 30 years and has been an important voice in efforts to make New Hampshire a better place through his work on the University System of NH's Board of Trustees, the Northern Community Investment Corporation and other critical components of the region's non profit civil society community.
