President 2026 – 2027

MHA President – Mike Hale

To the Members of the Massachusetts Highway Association,

Thank you to all who participated in our annual meeting at Pleasant Valley Country Club. It is a distinct honor to be elected as President to this organization. As I look ahead at the months to come, I am filled with a profound sense of optimism and pride in the work we do. Our association has long been a pillar of professional excellence, and I am eager to continue that tradition alongside all of you.

The strength of the Massachusetts Highway Association has always been—and will always be—our collective expertise. In a field as demanding as public works and highway management, no one person has all the answers. Our success is built on collaboration. Whether it is sharing best practices for infrastructure resilience, navigating new environmental regulations, or coordinating regional responses to seasonal challenges, we are undeniably better when we work together. This year, I want to place a renewed focus on strengthening those professional bonds and ensuring that our association remains a primary resource for mentorship and innovation.

I also want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude. To our board members, our vendors, and every municipal employee who keeps our roadways safe and our infrastructure sound: thank you. Your dedication often goes unnoticed by the general public, but its impact is felt in every commute, every delivery, and every community connection made across the state.

We have a busy year ahead, filled with opportunities for growth, advocacy, and professional development. I look forward to seeing the ingenuity you bring to your respective roles and to seeing many of you at our upcoming meetings and events.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the Association and to the residents of Massachusetts.

Sincerely,

Michael Hale
