The American Public Works Association sponsors National Public Works Week.  This year, May 21 through May 27, is the time to energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily lives: planning, building, managing and operating at the heart of their local communities to improve everyday quality of life.

APWA encourages public works agencies and professionals to take the opportunity to make their stories known in their communities.  The National Public Works Week How-to-Guide and Downloads area are available to assist in the development and implementation of their own individual celebrations.  The occasion is marked each year with scores of resolutions and proclamations from mayors and governors.  Please show your agency’s pride in providing a copy of the proclamation at the Florida Chapter Annual Meeting and Expo for posting at the booth.  You may bring your copy to the Expo or email to Carsey Patrick at cmps99@hotmail.com or your district representative of the local branch.
 
The Florida Chapter Annual Meeting and Expo is April 18-20, 2023.  Early Bird registration still available so hurry and sign up to attend.  http://florida.apwa.net/  https://npww.apwa.net/
