TRIBUTE TO TIM MASSA

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 130 (Friday, August 7, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 130 (Friday, August 7, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S4559] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS ______ TRIBUTE TO TIM MASSA Mr. HUSTED. Madam President, today I would like to recognize a fellow Ohioan and a fellow Dayton Flyer, Tim Massa, who this September will retire after 37 remarkable years in the human resources profession, the last 16 of them at The Kroger Co., one of Ohio's and America's great companies. Tim joined Kroger in 2010 as vice president of talent development, after 21 years building his craft at Procter & Gamble. Over the following decade and a half, he rose to lead human resources and labor relations, then to serve as Kroger's chief people officer, and ultimately as executive vice president and chief associate experience officer. In Cincinnati, he has served the American Cancer Society, sat on the Cincinnati Zoo's board of trustees, and supported the city's Workforce Innovation Center, always finding time to give back to the community he and his wife Lisa have called home while raising their two daughters. On behalf of the people of Ohio, I want to congratulate Tim Massa on an extraordinary 37-year career, thank him for his dedicated service to Kroger's associates and to the human resources profession, and wish him, Lisa, and their family all the best as they begin this well-earned next chapter. ____________________
