Diversity
The American Public Works Association recognizes, appreciates and fosters the synergy which is created when the work environment values the differences in individuals and practices inclusiveness and open communication.
Diversity includes race, gender, creed, age, lifestyle, national origin, disability, personality, educational background and income level.
The APWA Diversity Committee is appointed by the president and is comprised of members of the association. The Committee advances the diversity issues throughout the association, placing value on all individuals and the different perspectives of those individuals, and promoting the process for all to feel included as part of the whole. Being a member involves a conference call every month and a meeting at Congress. Here is the list of 2012-2013 APWA Diversity Committee members.
