What makes APWA different from other professional associations?
“APWA engages the full spectrum of public works professionals, and they’re all equal stakeholders. I’m a member of other professional organizations but don’t see the rate of return that APWA brings.”
Kurt Corey, Director of Public Works, City of Eugene, OR
“What I find by being a member of APWA is its ‘one-stop shopping.’ Other associations can specialize in their areas of expertise, which is great, but what APWA does for me is that I can go to one place and find all the information on any topic I need in the very diverse world of public works.”
Brenda Herrman, Director of Public Works, City of Hays, KS
