The American Public Works Association continues to regard diversity in all areas of public life as the utmost importance in ensuring its growth and vitality. The Diversity Committee was created in 1995 to promote the belief that all should be made to feel included as part of the whole and that diversity awareness is essential to the continued growth and vitality of the APWA, both in the workforce and as a membership organization. As our chapter and industry matures we are facing extraordinary levels of retirements in the next ten years and we must start building for the future.
