By 2010, Public Works Agencies Are Facing the Retirement of 35-40% of Their Workforce. Who Is Going To Replace Them?
Nobody. As it presently stands, public works agencies simply can not compete with the private sector when it comes to attracting young, career-minded professionals. This is one of the most significant crises facing the public works profession!
To reverse this downward spiral, we need to forge new thinking for these tough questions:
• How will we retain the “organizational memory,” skills, and valuable community relationships that will be lost in the boomer exodus?
• How can we ‘grow our own’ new leaders when our training budgets are being cut?
• How can we motivate young, talented professionals to choose a career in public works?
Dr. John Luthy, nationally known public works futurist and strategist, will share ideas for:
• Leadership development and succession planning
• Accelerated recruiting
• “Making the case” to influence key decision-makers on the need for new processes, structures, and support systems
WE must take responsibility for preparing the next generation of public works professionals. Make this the legacy you leave to your community – and your profession.
