National Public Works Week Image APWA is proud to announce the theme "People, Purpose, Presence" for the 2025 National Public Works Week poster. Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose. Public works professionals are ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all. The "People, Purpose, Presence" theme highlights how public works makes communities safer, more vibrant, and a better place to live. Whether serving as first responders, responding to electricity outages, providing regular waste pickup, or making roads and sidewalks passable after a winter weather event, public works is always there when people need them.
