Background Information:
Since 1960, APWA has sponsored National Public Works Week. Across North America, our more than 30,000 members in the U.S. and Canada use this week to energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily lives: planning, managing, and operating at the heart of their communities to improve everyday quality of life.
The American Public Works Association is proud to announce the 2025 National Public Works Week’s (NPWW) theme of "People, Purpose, Presence." Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose. And many times, public works professionals will never meet those whose lives have been impacted because when things are going right, no one knows that public works is there. With or without fanfare, public works is ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all.
