The 2011 Congress is over. If you were here, I hope it exceeded your expectations. If you weren’t in Denver, hopefully you can make it to Anaheim next August!
I spent a lot of time talking to members here about the strategic direction of APWA. I truly believe it is my role to forward our strategic initiatives. If you aren’t familiar with the seven initiatives, they are:
• Grow and Strengthen Membership
• Utilize Technology to Better Engage and Serve Members Where They Live and Work
• Offer an Integrated and Comprehensive Approach to Professional Development and Education
• Support and Strengthen Chapters
• Continue Developing the Preeminent Center for Sustainability
• Expand and Strengthen APWA’s International Role
• Ensure APWA’s Future Sustainability
When thinking about the association as a whole and our future, which of these resonate most with you and which ones don’t. Which ones do you think are most critical to APWA’s continued sustainability? Are we missing something?
