National Public Works Week
May 19 – 25 is National Public Works Week! This year, the American Public Works Association announced the theme “Advancing Quality of Life for All”. Public works contributes to advancing and enhancing our quality of life, no matter where we live in the world. Public works professionals provide essential services that lead to healthier, happier, more vibrant communities. The “Advancing Quality of Life for All” theme shines a spotlight on the way public works professionals advance our quality of life!

We look forward to another opportunity to celebrate our CASA members who work hard to safeguard our quality of life every single day!
