Spring Conference

For the third straight year, gorgeous spring weather welcomed attendees at the APWA-MN Spring Conference, held May 7-9, 2025 at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa. Also for the third straight year, attendance set a new record of 249 people.

Three service projects provided guests an opportunity to give back to those in need. Some participants helped with Nisswa area park improvements, while others made tied blankets for children in crisis and assembled care packages for a local shelter for women and children.
