About This Group

The Sustainability and Resiliency Committee members identify and develop tools and best practices to ensure APWA becomes the driving force for sustainability and resiliency in public works management while growing the next generation of public works leaders with strong sustainability and resiliency credentials and commitment.

The Sustainability and Resiliency Committee is also proud of APWA’s role as a founding partner of the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), which developed Envision, a tool for rating the sustainability of infrastructure projects and the Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) designation.

Mission

The mission of the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee is to support APWA’s strategic goals of providing excellence in education within the areas of sustainability and resiliency within the context of public works.

Resources for Members

The Resource Center has a collection of resources focused on sustainability and resiliency in public works. Items include recorded sessions from past PWX sessions, past Click, Listen, and Learn webinars, APWA Reporter articles, and other programs and tools created by the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee.

Knowledge Team

In an effort to expand volunteer opportunities to those who may be interested in contributing to the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee, the committee has created the Sustainability and Resiliency Knowledge Team. Members of the Knowledge Team will commit to share information with APWA members by working on projects such as writing articles, presenting Click, Listen, and Learn sessions, speaking at PWX and other conferences, and other methods.

Members interested in discussing Sustainability and Resiliency topics with other APWA members are encouraged to subscribe within APWA Connect, which will be relaunched in 2025.
