NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK: May 18-24, 2008
Public Works: The Future Is Now
Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to National Public Works Week 2008! We are now in our 48th year of celebrating the hard work and dedication
of the many public works professionals throughout North America. We are very excited that your organization is
participating in this very important event and want to encourage you to involve your entire community in this
important celebration.
To help you get your celebration off and running, we have created this web based "How-To" guide. In this guide
you will find a wealth of information to develop activities for your organizations celebration. The material in
this guide can easily be customized to meet the needs of your organization and its impact upon your unique community.
Using the outline and accompanying materials, you are ready to coordinate a positive promotional campaign.
During National Public Works Week, we encourage you to publicize the importance of public works to your community,
the effort that they place on your community for a better quality of life, and the benefits that they provide to each
citizen. We also encourage you to reach out to the policy makers in your area to communicate how your local efforts are
affected by other jurisdictions.
APWA is developing an exciting outreach program in Washington D.C. for Members of Congress and their staffs.
We wish you great success with your National Public Works Week Celebration this May and be sure to logon and share your
experiences with us so others may benefit next year.
Sincerely,

Larry Frevert, President, APWA
