APWA board selects president-elect

The American Public Works Association (APWA), Kansas City, Missouri, has selected member Keith Pugh as its next president-elect. Previous president-elect Dan Hartman stepped down from his role, citing ongoing health issues.

“I am excited to have been chosen to fill the unexpired term of president-elect,” Pugh says. “It is a challenging role and I look forward to diving into it and helping to guide AWPA through the next year of my presidency.”   

Pugh has been active with APWA for more than 20 years, starting with serving on the Engineering and Technology Committee. He’s served on other national committees within APWA and is an active leader in the North Carolina chapter of the APWA. He is a client success manager with WithersRavenel in Asheville, North Carolina. He will assume the office of president at the Public Works Expo scheduled to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 28-31.

“APWA has an excellent process with which to fill vacancies in unfortunate situations,” says APWA President Stan Brown. “The selection of Keith Pugh as president-elect means APWA will continue to be in good hands. His breadth and depth of experience will serve the association well.”
