The Nominating Committee is a standing committee made of past Chapter Presidents and nominates candidates for Executive Committee officer and director positions. The Committee also oversees and reviews the election process.

The Out-State Development Committee creates educational opportunities and professional relationships for exiting members and promotes membership benefits to prospective members in the non-metro (out-state) area of the state.

The Public Awareness Committee works to educate others (not technical/professional continuing education) so that they can choose to advocate for public works at all ages and in all places (schools, legislature, etc.) We accomplish this by leveraging exiting resources (such as http://www.eweek.org/Home.aspx) and being creative in bringing public works issues to peoples’ attention.
