Testimonials

"The MPWI was a privilege to attend and meet knowledgeable professionals. It covered 90 different topics of best practices achieved through lessons learned in public services. The instructors from supervisors to city mangers displayed a real interest in the development of those participating."
- Keith Keller, Alexandria, VA

"The Mid-Atlantic Public Works Institute has helped me tremendously. I have attended management and leadership training in other formats before but being taught by local industry experts, like with MPWI, it made the information more absorbable because of its relevance to my position in Public Works. Since attending the training, I feel more qualified and confident handling challenges supervisors face like personnel issues or budgetary restraints. In addition to the classroom instruction, the contacts I have made while attending each session have proven to be invaluable. I would recommend the Mid-Atlantic Public Works Institute for any supervisor at any level who wants to hone their skills as a leader."
- Jack Reed, Smithfield, VA

"PWI has been an invaluable professional and personal experience. The educational curriculum allowed for cross-organizational communication specific to public works and public service amongst various regional municipalities that focused on learning, sharing and engagement. The Institute’s growth has not only been realized in the increased number of participants but also in its ability to attract facilitators who are not only experts in their field but are committed to the continued success of the Institute."

"The MPWI turned out to be so much more than advertised – in terms of material covered, networking with peers, and colleagues from across the Mid-Atlantic Region that I am proud to call friends. From the very first session onward I have called and been called by my classmates regarding any number of unique opportunities that presented themselves. No longer do I feel as though I work in a small municipality, I feel as though the entire Mid-Atlantic Chapter will do anything in their power to help and lend expertise, as will I. I recommend the MPWI without reservation!"
