Board of Directors

For the past 85 years, the American Public Works Association has focused on supporting those who operate, improve and maintain public works and infrastructure through advocacy, education and member engagement (APWA’s Mission) in the US and Canada to help them serve our communities. The entire association continues to implement the Strategic Plan for 2020-2023, which includes four strategic goals:

Value — Promote the value of public works and enhance its visibility and awareness

Voice — Be the voice of public works to government, the public and media

Education and Credentialing — Provide excellence in education and credentialing

Membership and Chapters — Deliver an outstanding and valuable membership experience in collaboration with Chapters

Below you will find the directory of APWA Board members for 2021-2022. The Board and APWA staff are here to serve, so don’t hesitate to contact any one of them to let us know how we can help.

We are One APWA–Stronger Together – working as a team to create a great place to live. Thank you for what you do every day for your citizens through public works and for "advancing quality of life for all" (APWA's Vision).

Sincerely,


Keith Pugh
2022-2023 APWA President
