Pat Guest, Benny Herring and Buddy Spring at MML Conference



The Mississippi Chapter of American Public Works Association is currently planning its annual fall conference to be held October 27-29, 2010 in Brandon.  Some members of our group recently participated in the Mississippi Municipal League Conference held in Biloxi.  We conducted a round table discussion, as well as a certification session on the the different components of Public Works.  Each session was well attended and was beneficial to all.  Our chapter also had an exhibit booth in which we talked to prospective members and educated Mayors, Aldermen, and other city officials on the benefits of collaborating with other Public Works officials on items that we deal with on a day-to-day basis.  We had several door prizes to give away - we always have such a fun time with the drawings.  Thanks to some of those who helped with the door prize gifts, which are, but not limited to, Guest Consultants, Adapco, Malouf Construction, Covington Sales and Service, Adcamp, Hanson Pipe, Visu-Sewer, Venable Glass, Serv Pro and Rankin County Co-Op.

New pictures are online under the Resource Tab.  These pictures are of the MML Conference and pictures of Monty Jackson, Public Works Director of the City of Meridian and Cathy Goolsby, Public Works Director of the City of Brandon who participated in the Mississippi ESGR Boss Lift in June 2010.  It was a very enlightning trip.
