I am honored to be your President and I would like to acknowledge the leadership provided by former President John Haines and the Board. I am excited to welcome our returning new vender rep. Jennifer Tetreault to the Board, who I am certain will be successful in fulfilling her role. I would like to thank Jason Paige for his dedication and hard work as our past Vender Rep. I want to extend a special thank you to my predecessor, John Haines, for his leadership and mentoring. I look forward to serving Mass Highway Association as President and hope to continue the inspiring leadership that has made Mass Highway Association what it is today. I also want to thank our membership because our success would not have been possible without their continued support and dedication to excellence.
When joining MHA in 2013 as the Worcester County Highway Association Rep, I gained a great appreciation for what the Association offers to public works throughout the state and beyond. The networking and education MHA provides is a great tool to have. Many relationships have been built and some for a lifetime along with great new friends throughout the years.
