If you want help select and recognize the best in Public Works, this may be the committee for you. For over 20 years, the Annual APWA Best Awards luncheon recognizes the top leaders and projects in public works. These awards include top leader and emerging leader in both the public and private sectors and the top project awards in the following categories: buildings; facilities; creative & innovative; drainage, water & wastewater; recreational and athletic facilities; stormwater; traffic, mobility and beautification; and transportation projects. Within each project award category, we separate the awards by the size of the public entity.
A group of industry leaders with various backgrounds form the Awards committee, which reviews over 70 applications on a yearly basis to determine the recipients. The recipients are acknowledged at the annual BEST awards luncheon, organized by the Programs Committee, with nearly 400 industry members in attendance. The BEST awards luncheon provides great networking opportunities and the occasion to see outlines of some of the most successful projects and people from throughout Southern California.
If you want to be part of analyzing all types of projects and people as well as experience the enjoyment of being part of a team to acknowledge success in our industry, join this group! The effort is essentially limited to just a couple months of time during the application period in September and October.
