Would you like to improve your writing skills and increase productivity
In conjunction with the annual Fall Workshop the Minnesota Chapter of the American Public Works Association is very pleased to sponsor a one-day writing workshop Writing to Get Things Donereg (WGTD) presented by Stan Berry of the Berry Writing Group This workshop focuses on improving productivity by using writing as a powerful tool for getting things done
Recognizing that many Public Works practitioners may not be comfortable with their writing skills the Education and Training Committee of the Minnesota Chapter of APWA formed a Public Works Writing Skills Task Force which partnered with the Berry Writing Group to offer this one-day workshop
Public Works Superintendents Engineers and Directors typically focused on technical courses in school Most Public Works supervisors have worked their way up from operator positions Typically English and writing classes were not the most popular courses for Public Works professionals when they were in school Yet today our community residents and Public Works customers are communicating more and more through electronic media emails and social networking sites Our residents are searching for information on local websites or Facebook pages before calling City Hall with questions Written communication skills have become a necessity
The workshop costs $320 per student which includes lunch and break refreshments Additional information about the writing workshop including testimonials from City of Richfield can be found on the MN Chapterrsquos website at wwwapwa-mnorg Additional information about the Berry Writing Group can be found on their website at wwwberrywritinggroupcom

Hennepin County observed a need for better coordination between public agencies and utility providers when programming right-of-way construction activities The assumption was that greater collaboration will lessen the disruption to the public in terms of traffic congestion and right-of-way impacts and reduce programming and construction costs It was decided that an online project collaboration tool accessible to all partners would greatly enhance everyonersquos ability to coordinate programming and construction efforts The Hennepin County GIS Office in collaboration with Transportation Operations Right-of-Way Use staff gathered business requirements and developed a web-based interactive mapping application to enable government agency and utility company partners to visualize project locations and share information about major construction projects
