Answering the fundamental question of how an organization compares to others is often not easily answered. Currently, there are no published industry sources available to public works leaders focused on this information for all public works disciplines. An APWA Public Works Leadership Fellows (PWLF) and member of the Leadership and Management Committee (LMC), as well as an APWA Public Works Executive (PWE) will discuss and identify the Committee’s efforts in bridging this gap. The discussion will center on the LMC’s collection and development of a benchmark databased to be used by APWA members of available benchmarks and standards for public works related activities and services.
