Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian members. In the whole scheme of things, we all have much for which to be thankful. We thank you for all that do for the organization. #happythanksgiving#apwatweets#apwaBrad
Congratulations to our very own @APWABrad on receiving his CAE certification at last night's @kc_sae event. This is a major accomplishment and truly shows his dedication to association work. Bravo!
And, since it is never too early to start thinking about what is next... PWX 2022 comes up August 28-31, 2022 in Charlotte. Hope to see all of you there.

Class XIV of the Emerging Leaders Academy presented its final project - Public Works From Home - which looked at a year of remote work and how public works professionals and employers dealt with the challenges and what opportunities arose. #ELA@APWATWEETS
The Futures Program brought students and some young professionals to Monday's session. Again, with very little time to market, the program was a success. The group finished the day with a tour of Busch Stadium. #apwaFutures; #futureofAPWA; #futureoftheprofession; @APWATWEETS
Congratulations to the Missouri Chapter. With very little time to prepare compared to other years, and with all the COVID protocols in place, it was a sensational event. It was so great to see all of our members, albeit from the nose up. @APWATWEETS#apwamissouri#pwx2021
PWX 2021 is a wrap. On Wednesday, the sign outside the America's Center Convention Center in the setting sun was a good metaphor. Many of us were not sure this event was even going to be held. @APWATWEETS@APWABrad

@APWARita Yeah, I share the Channel 5 story on Facebook with my friends. I was at a function in that hotel in October of 1980 when I came to KC from Charleston, IL to cover the World Series. Eerie.
