How to Become a 2026 Chapter Partner
APWA exists to support our public works professionals. Our objectives include the development and education of the people and organizations that plan, build, and maintain the core infrastructure of our communities. As a partner with APWA, you will network with the professional people and agencies that our citizens/residents count on to maintain and improve the public works components of our communities. Partners become part of the larger organization that the public counts on.
We invite you to become a 2026 partner (sponsor) of the APWA Michigan Chapter to help the organization to further achieve our mutual goals. As a partner with the State Chapter, you are also a partner in each of our five Michigan local branches. There are numerous branch activities throughout the year that you can also participate in, ranging from benefit golf outings, conferences, equipment shows, lunch n learns, municipal snow roadeos, and various networking events, including the up-and-coming APWA Young Professionals.
APWA Michigan also has a published periodical known as the “Great Lakes Reporter” that is released three times a year. The publication includes stories on public works current events, educational segments, what’s new, and advertising opportunities for our partners to increase exposure to public works.
The cost to be an APWA Michigan Partner is only $450/year (plus your cost of being a National APWA member). Your partnership promotes and enables the educational mission and goals of the Michigan Chapter. It enables you to enhance relationships with existing clients, facilitate new relationships with potential clients, and strengthen your exposure to the state-wide public works sector. Additional opportunities exist once a partner. You can select a la carte advertising or choose one of our packaged partner levels that provide savings for being actively involved with the Chapter. Upon reviewing the different levels of partnership, consider the one that best fits your offering and marketing budget for the calendar year.
