TCAPWA stands for the Tennessee Chapter of the American Public Works Association. It is an association of public works officials from governmental agencies across the state as well as companies and suppliers of consulting services, technologies, and equipment used in typical public works areas of responsibility. These areas include road and street maintenance, solid waste collection and disposal, municipal water and wastewater operations, storm water management, transportation, traffic control, fleet maintenance, building and grounds maintenance and other related areas.
The association strives to promote professionalism in the public works field and provide a network through which members can share and receive useful information. Membership in the association provides an opportunity to meet other public works officials who share common responsibilities and services. The networking and exchange of information can help members improve the efficiency and operations of any local public works department.
The chapter is always looking for new members and volunteers wishing to become more active in chapter activities. Those interested can contact John Calvert, Chapter Administrator or any of the chapter officers or committee members.
The chapter sponsors the Tennessee Public Works Institute (TPWI) which provides educational classes and sessions for all levels of Public Works employees from maintenance workers to directors. Class notices and registration forms are available on this web site.
