President's Letter - Summer 2025

Dear New Hampshire Highways Readers:

Summer’s here — and so is construction season — but don’t forget to pencil in some time for fun! Join us for the Equipment Showcase Open on July 25 at Beaver Meadow Golf Course and Canterbury Woods Country Club. We’re kicking off the festivities the night before with our Summer Social at Beaver Meadow on July 24. It’s the perfect chance to relax, catch up with friends & colleagues, and enjoy a great evening before the golf action tees off. You’ll also find the Equipment Showcase on full display at both courses. Want to play, sponsor, or set up an exhibit? Head over to nhgoodroads.org for all the details and registration information.

We’re also thrilled to share some great news! This spring, the Scholarship Committee for the Roger F. Provost and NHGRA Construction Scholarships awarded $6,250 to seven outstanding students (see pages 26 & 27). A big thank you to everyone who continues to support these efforts — your generosity is truly making a difference.

And speaking of fun... mark your calendar for the Fall Social on November 8 at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel — we're going full-on '80s! Break out your neon and get ready for an unforgettable night packed with great food, good friends, surprise moments, and plenty of dancing. You do not want to miss this — it’s going to be totally tubular! Check out our website — nhgoodroads.org — for details.

As always, I encourage you to share the Good Roads spirit — bring a coworker or friend who isn’t part of our community to tag along to an event. After all, what makes NHGRA truly special is the people. Our events are more than just gatherings; they’re opportunities to connect and build a stronger network — one handshake (and high five) at a time.

Got thoughts on how we can make things even better? Don’t hold back — we’re all ears and excited to hear what’s on your mind. Your feedback helps us improve and grow.

Here’s to a summer that’s busy, safe, and sunny. See you out there!

Cheers,

Will Hess

President
