The theme for this year’s American Public Works Association (APWA) Spring Conference is ‘Investing in Community’. The Oregon Chapter of the APWA consists of more than 800 professional engineers, technicians, operations staff, public works directors, business people, contractors, consultants and many others who join together to exchange ideas and information, promote education and training, and work as a team to meet professional and community needs. Nationally, APWA represents almost 30,000 public works professionals and offers excellent professional development programs and member services. Energy Trust staff will be presenting at the event, and the Energy Trust team will also have a booth at the four day conference to engage directly with attendees.
