The Myron Calkins Young Leader of the Year Award has been renamed to the Pakpour Consulting Group Young Leader of the Year Award.
APWA extends sincere gratitude to the Calkins family for their generous support over the years. Their commitment helped shape this award into one of APWA’s most meaningful recognitions of emerging leaders in public works.
While the award criteria will remain the same, additional funding is now available thanks to the generous donation from Pakpour Consulting Group.
Under the updated award, the financial incentive will transition from a $500 stipend to coverage of:
- PWX travel expenses
- Including up to three nights of lodging
- The winner’s PWX registration fee
Nominations will open on November 3, 2025.
Questions can be sent to Jill Wilbeck.
