Now that you have found the Education Committee website, I would like to recommend that you keep reading and browse all the information that is here. You will find links to a variety of programs, projects and initiatives provided for your and your Chapter’s Education enhancement. This committee is representative of the Chapters and the technical specialties of the members. We need your involvement and contribution as an APWA member. What do you need? Where should we be leading the educational effort of your association?

President Noel Thompson restructured this Committee for 2008/2009. Committee consists of 10 members instead of the six members from the last Education Committee. The Committee members are listed below and represent all 9 Technical Committees. The Committee’s direct link to the APWA Board of Directors is Mr. Larry T. Koehle, PE, and the current President-Elect of the Association. Also, FHWA/LTAP has appointed an ex-officio representative from the FHWA Office of Professional and Corporate Development which is the home of the National Highway Institute. Our Committee will attempt to address the training and education needs of the members, the Chapters and the public works industry.

Conference calls of this Committee are held monthly and two face to face meetings are conducted yearly. The first face to face meeting will be in Kansas City at APWA Headquarters on January 23 – 24, 2009. The second will be during the 2009 Congress in Columbus, Ohio. The January meeting is the key meeting and where the lineup of all training offerings for the coming fiscal year is reviewed, researched and scheduled for budget purposes. Please contact me (dcady1@unl.edu) or our staff liaison (Karen Wilson, kwilson@APWA.NET) if you have any comments or contributions to this effort. Thank You!
