APWA Committee Open House

Get involved. Make an impact. 

Join us for APWA’s free, interactive, live virtual Committee Open House and learn more about APWA committees and ways to get involved. 

You’ll get a firsthand look at what APWA committees do, the projects they’re working on, and opportunities to contribute. Participating in a committee is an opportunity to expand your professional network, collaborate with peers across the country, and contribute your expertise to initiatives that advance the public works profession. Committee involvement can help you develop leadership skills, stay informed about emerging trends and best practices, gain valuable volunteer experience, and make a meaningful impact on APWA programs, resources, and industry priorities. 

The Open House is the perfect way to explore where your interests and talents can make the greatest contribution. Throughout the Open House, you can visit multiple committees, meet committee representatives, ask questions, and explore the areas that interest you most. Whether you’re curious about committee work, want to share your expertise, or want to get more involved with APWA, the Committee Open House is a great place to make connections and find ways to contribute.
