What makes APWA different from other professional associations?

“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 Herman, Retired Director of Public Works, City of Hays, KS
