The American Public Works Association (APWA) has launched the premiere episode of its new podcast, Public Works Radio!

Public Works Radio is the official voice of APWA, bringing the stories behind our communities to life. This podcast shines a spotlight on the people and projects that keep our cities running—humanizing the work and the professionals who make it happen.

In the inaugural episode, APWA President Vic Bianes, PE, delves into his four decades of experience in public works and share his insights on building the next generation of leaders.

An estimated 10–12% of workers leave the public works and infrastructure sector every year. What happens when there’s no one to guide, educate, and mentor the people who will one day be expected to keep our cities running? 

Vic is joined by Margaret Medellin, PE, MPA, an Associate Vice President with Hazen and Sawyer and instructor for APWA’s Emerging Leaders Academy. Margaret discusses what it means to step into a leadership role and how leading with curiosity over ego leads to more successful teams.
