Many (too many) public works departments have experienced the loss of valued public works colleagues while they were in the line-of-duty. Members of the APWA New England and Chicago Metro Chapters discuss what chapters, local governments, and others have done in the past and can do in the future to make sure that these fallen heroes are honored and acknowledged for their public service. It is often difficult to decide what the appropriate response should be. Audience members that had experiences they'd like to share about meaningful activities that APWA and public works departments could undertake join the discussion.

Learning Objectives:
Discuss the steps and protocols involved in honoring fallen public works heroes.
Review the procedures being drafted by the New England Chapter Awareness Committee to honor fallen public works colleagues.
Draw up a plan for what your agency, chapter, and community can do acknowledge the dedication and service of fallen public works professionals.
