About the event
Do you want some scoop from the movers and shakers in public works?
If so, this event is for you! APWA Sacramento and WTS Sacramento are pleased to co-host the bi-annual Public Works Leaders Roundtable and Mixer on Thursday, March 25 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. through a virtual platform. Meet the region’s decision makers and learn about their individual career path and priorities as well as their selection processes, and upcoming opportunities. The roundtable format will also allow you to introduce yourself and ask your own questions – from learning about regional priorities and potential succession plans, to project status and organizational or procedural changes. With three roundtable rotations, attendees will be able to interact directly with three different officials who will be stationed at their own virtual tables. The event will have an open seating, first-come-first-serve format, with each table limited to 8 participants, including the speaker. Each of the three roundtable discussions will be 20 minutes in length, with additional time for mingling before the roundtable discussions and at the conclusion of the evening.
