This program is sponsored by the APWA Leadership and Management Committee

Public Works professionals work behind the scenes to make our communities better. However, most people do not even realize we exist. Public Works is EVERYWHERE – from state or local agencies, to engineers, consultants, contractors, inspectors, and vendors that work for these agencies, we are the men and women that make the quality of life better and improve our communities everyday by providing core services. As industry leaders, we need to continue to raise awareness of Public Works. This CLL program will provide you with new innovative ways to raise awareness for your agency and for the profession of Public Works.

After attending this program, participants will be better able to:
1. Utilize innovative ways to raise awareness for Public Works to the same level of other first responders.
2. Effectively utilize social media to increase public awareness.
3. Receive inspiration for promoting themselves and the profession in their communities.
