WALPOLE, MA - Robert Way, president of Robert Way Construction, Inc., a Norwood-based construction company, joined the League School of Greater Boston Board of Directors this week, the board announced Monday.

enormous value to the League Board,” said board chair Roger Lockwood. “His common sense,
knowledge of the building trades, compassion for children, service on the League Friends, collegial disposition, and keen business sense will be valuable for the Board’s deliberations and decisions."

“Children and young adults with autism can live a more purposeful and fulfilling life if given the right opportunity and training, which the League School provides,” added Way. “I look forward to advancing the school’s mission through my construction expertise and to collaborate with League supporters who I’ve respected for a long time.”
