Program Purpose Statement This program is intended to provide assistance to APWA Chapter member communities. The goal is to match retired persons willing to volunteer their public works expertise with communities that request assistance. The advice and recommendations provided by volunteers in this program is in no way intended to be a substitute for professional consulting or engineering services. The opinions, advice, suggestions, work performed, and recommendations made by volunteers in no way have the endorsement of the American Public Works Association Kansas Chapter. They are the sole opinion of the retired volunteer who has offered his/her service. The APWA Kansas Chapter does not screen or complete a background check on volunteers to verify qualifications. It is the sole responsibility of the said “community” to conduct any background or verification check for a volunteer. The “community” is responsible to prepare any and all waivers and agreements with the volunteer.
