About This Group
The Certification Commission provides strategic oversight and governance for all APWA certification programs and activities. The Commission ensures certifications are relevant, rigorous, and recognized, advancing public works excellence while increasing industry adoption among employers (HR, hiring managers), government entities, and contracting authorities.
Voting members of the Commission include a CPFP Council representative, a CPII Council representative, a CSM Council representative, a CPWP Council representative, two APWA members who have not participated in any certification program but understand APWA’s strategic plan and vision, and one APWA member who has a role within agency hiring (HR professional, hiring manager, etc.). The Commission also includes two appointed non-voting liaisons representing the Board of Directors’ liaison and the Workforce Development Committee liaison. The Council typically conducts bi-monthly virtual meetings. All Commission members serve a two-year term and may be appointed for up to three consecutive two-year terms.
