Call for Abstracts
GENERAL INFORMATION: The Arizona Chapter of the American Public Works Association invites the submittal of abstracts for presentations to be considered at the 2022 Statewide Conference. The conference will be held at the El Conquistador Tucson on August 3-5, 2022.
We are developing a dynamic program with topics that provide value to conference attendees and information that attendees can put to use in their organizations. We are especially interested in hearing from Public Agency members as individual or panel discussion presenters. The length of most presentation sessions is 30 minutes and it includes introductions and a brief question and answer period. Presentations involving panel discussions are encouraged. We also strongly support demonstrations and/or hands-on interactive sessions that could be held inside or outside depending on your space requirements. Multi-member panels and other special sessions can be up to 60 minutes in length and demonstrations could be longer if required. All topics of interest to our membership, whether they are management, funding and financing, motivational, operational, career development, or technically oriented, will be considered. Please feel free to propose on any topic you feel would be of interest to attendees.
