2011 PACE: 15 Years of Texas Chapter Excellence

Submitted by Susan Causey,

Texas Chapter Administrator

National APWA established the PACE—Presidential Award for Chapter Excellence—to recognize chapters for contributions made to positively impact their membership, profession, and community. Chapters are judged on membership, service to chapter members, advancement of public works, and service to the community. To be eligible, chapters with more than 500 members must also nominate at least one individual to the Top Ten Public Works Leader of the Year and nominate at least one individual/group for any 3 other National APWA Awards.

The Texas Chapter has applied—and received the PACE—for 15 years. The Texas PACE application is a hefty document reflecting the yearly accomplishments of the Chapter and all seven branches. Congratulations! to the Texas Chapter and all branches for this 15^th acknowledgement of excellence.
