American Public Works Association - MN Chapter

The APWA-MN Spring Conference is held annually in central Minnesota. The conference is typically a three-day event focused on leadership and management education and networking and offers hours towards professional continuing education requirements.

Stellar weather and record attendance topped the list of reasons why the 2023 Spring Conference, May 10-12 at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, was a great event. Warm sunshine, fantastic education sessions and numerous networking opportunities gave the 215 attendees many reasons to smile.

Two service projects supported deserving organizations. Some participants gathered at the nearby Northland Arboretum for outdoor cleanup and landscaping work, while others made tied blankets for children in crisis to be donated to Project Linus of the Twin Cities.
