NHADA-Pub3-2021-Issue4-FLIPBOOK

This move, which NHADA has long supported, will attract more students in a modernized environment who can access the school and help better feed our technician demand. It will also likely lead to getting more manufacturer involvement in the programs. Senator Erin Hennessey (R-Littleton) strongly advocated for the funding and ultimately inserted it into the bill in the Senate phase. NHADA, along with Immediate Past Chair Lisa Nast, Past Chair Mike Kopp, Workers Compensation Trust Chair Matt Marrazzo, and past board member Jim Lagana met with Senator Hennessey to discuss the issue and the need for funding this project. Senator Hennessey was on our side from the beginning and kept pushing the issue. We thank her for her tenacity and greatly appreciate her support. WMCC President Chuck Lloyd, always a strong advocate for his college, did a stellar job highlighting the benefits of the move for WMCC, the equipment/ trucking industry, and future techs from across the state, including the North Country. NHADA Board members Andy Crews, MaryBeth Alosa, and NHAEF Board member John Lambert spoke to the House Committee leadership working on the Capital Budget to educate them and elicit their support for the project. When HB25 came back for a vote in their committee, they easily supported the addition, and we thank them all for that as well. This truly was a team and community effort that led to great success to help our industry move forward. We will keep you posted when the bill becomes law and as this exciting industry innovation project moves forward.
