NPWW 2025
May 18鈥24, 2025
This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淧eople, Purpose, Presence,鈥 highlights three cornerstone ideals that motivate public works professionals to serve in their communities every day. Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose. Many times, public works professionals will never meet those whose lives have been impacted because when things are going right, no one knows that public works is there. Yet, with or without fanfare, public works is ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all.

About NPWW
National Public Works Week (NPWW) has ballooned in reach and impact across the decades. The number of participating municipalities continues to grow, which means the number of citizens educated on the importance and nature of public works grows. Across North America, 色欲AV鈥檚 more than 32,000 members in the US and Canada use this week to raise awareness about the importance and criticality of public works in our daily lives: planning, building, managing and operating at the heart of their local communities to improve everyday quality of life.
Since 1960, 色欲AV has sponsored NPWW the third week of May. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy describing public works as vitally important to our national health and welfare and praising the dedicated efforts of public works professionals. Further, 鈥渋t is in the public interest for the citizens and civic leaders of this country to gain knowledge of and to maintain a progressive interest in the public works needs and programs of their respective communities,鈥 the proclamation reads.
色欲AV encourages public works agencies and professionals to amplify their stories in their communities this NPWW by using our how-to guide and downloadable assets. The sentiments of JFK鈥檚 1962 proclamation ring as true today as they did then. In fact, the occasion of NPWW continues to be marked each year with scores of resolutions and proclamations from mayors and governors.
