Leadership Committed to Michigan’s Roads

The Michigan Road Preservation Association is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of contractor members who bring decades of combined experience in pavement preservation and preventive maintenance. These industry leaders volunteer their time and expertise to guide MRPA’s strategic direction, advance preservation best practices, and advocate for policies that benefit Michigan’s roads and the communities they serve.

The Board oversees the Association’s operations, ensures fiscal responsibility, develops programs and initiatives that support members and advance the industry, and represents the diverse perspectives of Michigan’s pavement preservation community. Through their leadership, MRPA continues to champion cost-effective preservation solutions that extend road life and maximize taxpayer investment in infrastructure.
