Chapters

Chapters[3] are the essential element in APWA's service delivery system for its members. They offer one of the most immediate, easy and cost-effective opportunities to exchange information with colleagues and to keep up to date on the latest public works technologies and management trends. Organized within nine regions, APWA's 63 chapters are located throughout North America and serve virtually every metropolitan area, state, province and region on the continent.
