President Elected 2025 – 2026

MHA President – Roby Whitehouse 2025-2026

Dear MHA Members,

I view the position of president for the MA Highway Association not as a position of power, but as a position of service to this 130 plus year old organization and its membership.

I look forward to working with your board of directors from Barnstable, Plymouth, Norfolk/Bristol/Middlesex, Worcester, Berkshire, Essex and Tri-County as well as committee chairs, and trustees over the next year, to reinvigorate the objective of this organization as outlined in the By-Laws, which reads:

The Object of the Association shall be the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge both theoretical and practical, relating to the construction and maintenance of highways, by social dialogue and friendly interchange of knowledge between its members and to provide advice, encouragement and assistance to practitioner, potential engineers and students through financial aid, scholarships, grants, training programs, tuition and educational programs and courses of instruction.

I do not take this responsibility lightly. I promise to lead with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to unity. We may not always agree, but I vow to always listen — and to follow the 4 Way Test, which is: Of all things I think, say or do, first is it the truth, second is it fair to all concerned, third will it build goodwill and better friendships, forth will it be beneficial to all concerned?

I look forward to your participation at the Driver Skills in June, Golf Tournament in July, Expo in September, Mass Municipal Association Meeting in January, Winter Meeting in February and the full circle at the Annual meeting in May, all the dates for these events can be found on the MA Highway Calendar.  These are important events for this organization, and hope that you will support them, by volunteering and/or sending as many people to attend as possible!

I look forward to working with you over the next 12 months, and if you have an idea of ways to improve this organization, please feel free to reach out and let me or your county director know.  

Roby Whitehouse, President

Town of Yarmouth
