APWA-NC Wins PACE Award

The North Carolina Chapter of APWA has been selected to receive the Presidential Award for Chapter Excellence (PACE) for the 12th time!

The PACE Award recognizes APWA chapters for contributions made to positively impact their membership, profession, and community. There are four categories in which the chapter is evaluated. Each category has specific goals that are used to evaluate the chapter’s programs and services to the membership and community.

PACE recognition began in 1997. APWA-NC has been recognized in 2000, 2002-2006, and 2008-2013. With this 12th award, APWA-NC ranks 8th among APWA’s 63 chapters.

Special thanks to Paul Cox, who assembled and submitted the award application. An additional thank you to everyone who contributes to the chapter in many ways and allows us to be recognized as one of the best chapters in the country.

APWA-NC will be receiving the award at the Awards Recognition Ceremony during the APWA International Public Works Congress & Exposition in August.


APWA Advocates needs YOUR Help !!!

As a member of the Government Affairs Committee, I need your help continuing to build our APWA Advocates network. Our goal is to have multiple APWA Advocates in each U.S. Congressional District in North Carolina, and we are close to reaching that goal!!! We can always use more members in all of our districts to strengthen our advocacy voice across the state. Being an advocate doesn't require much your time but it can have a tremendous positive impact on public works funding and legislation. 

We are looking for members interested in public works advocacy issues and a willingness to respond to APWA alerts while maintaining and/or building a relationship with your local Congressional office.  If you are interested, please send your name and contact information to me at keith.pugh@highpointnc.gov or 336-883-3197. You can also send your infromation directly to National APWA (Tracy Okoroike at tokoroike@apwa.net or 202-218-6702). APWA will follow up by sending you the necessary information and getting YOU enrolled. Thanks!
