The signed proclamations featured on this page are powerful affirmations of the critical role public works professionals play in building and maintaining the communities we live in. Issued during National Public Works Week by various California public executives, these proclamations recognize the dedication, expertise, and public service of the individuals who plan, construct, operate, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our cities and counties safe, efficient, and resilient. From roads and bridges to water systems and emergency response, public works touches every aspect of daily life—and these proclamations honor that often-invisible work.
For the APWA Sacramento Chapter, these acknowledgments are more than ceremonial. They reflect a growing public appreciation for the profession and serve as a testament to the chapter’s ongoing efforts to elevate, educate, and advocate for public works across Northern California. Each proclamation strengthens our mission to support current and future leaders in the field and inspires us to continue promoting excellence in service to our communities.
