This past spring, Keith Noyes, Director of Public Works in Exeter, became President of the New Hampshire Public Works and Municipal Engineering Association (NHPWMEA). Keith appears to be at home in his new post and has started to put his mark on the association.

Keith’s first order of business was to send a letter to the membership explaining his goals for the next year. This letter was very well received. His most ambitious goal is to begin development on a "boiler plate" construction specification book that will cover water, sewer, drain and highway work. This book will be available to anyone.

The association had a fall social in September with proceeds slated for scholarships. The fall meeting will be held at the New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA) Show with presentations on Quality Based Selection, Drug and Alcohol testing, and the New Hampshire Municipal Bridge Aid Program.

Keith has served on the 13 member of the NHPWMEA board for the past two years. Membership of the board is made up of smaller and larger towns, industry, APWA, and an educational representative.

Kathy DesRoches serves on the board. To join the association or learn about any of its activities, contact Kathy at the UNH T² Center.
