Missouri Chapter APWA and St. Louis Branch

Letter from the President of the Missouri Chapter APWA


I had the opportunity to attend the APWA Leadership Training in Kansas City on February 27th and 28th with

Mike Busch and Anne Lamitola. This was an outstanding event that allowed us to network with other chapter

leaders and gain insight on ways to grow our influence as a chapter amongst the public works field in the

state. Of the many different things I took from the training, the most interesting one is that Strategic Planning

should be the main discussion topic of all board meetings. As I mentioned in January, we will be updating our

Strategic Plan this year. With this new insight, I am planning to hold a strategic planning session this summer

and invite all members of the chapter to participate, not just the board members. By opening up this process I

think we can gain more ideas to better shape how we want our chapter to look in the future.

Another big topic discussed at the training was the “Young Professionals.” This seems to be a hot topic in

many groups that I’m a part of, not just APWA. As the baby boomer generation leaves the workforce due to

retirement, many organizations are having to replace the vast knowledge lost. Recognizing that the YP group

is as important to APWA as the older members is key to keeping our chapter moving forward. Working with

the YP committee recently formed in our chapter we will be reaching out to the future leaders to include them

early on in their membership.

As mentioned in a recent email blast and also contained in this newsletter, there are several National APWA

committees and councils that our members serve on. This too is a great way to learn more from other chapters

and also from National to help our chapter plus allow members of our chapter to communicate our needs and

issues to other chapters and National. So please consider serving on one of these committees. The time com-

mitment is relatively small but benefits could be large. The deadline for submitting nominations is March 13th.

2015 Missouri Chapter Spring Conference—Capitol Plaza Hotel & Convention Center, Jefferson City, MO.

I have been working with Aaron Terry as conference co-chair for the Spring Conference to be held in Jefferson

City April 29th – May 1st. Hotel reservation information is now available and conference registration will be

coming soon. Things are shaping up for this to be an excellent conference with some interesting presentation

topics and fun events planned. Jefferson City offers a unique opportunity to our chapter due to it being the

state capital. At the 2012 Jefferson City spring conference, State Senator Mike Kehoe spoke about transporta-

tion issues facing the state and we are lucky to have confirmed his participation again this year. Senator

Kehoe is a past Highway and Transportation Commission Chairman and big supporter of transportation and

public works in the state. With the recent failure of Amendment 7 and some serious transportation funding

issues facing MoDOT, Senator Kehoe will be able to discuss in detail how the legislature is approaching this

issue and offer his ideas on how to solve the problem.

You won’t want to miss this so please make plans to attend the this conference.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as president and if you have any questions for me, feel free to con-

tact me at (573)636-3614 or via email at [email protected].
