Missourian Larry Frevert named as President of American Public Works Association
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Mon, 10/08/2007 - 8:03pm
Missourian Larry Frevert has been named president of the American Public Works Association.
Larry Frevert is a good friend of bicycling--one of the main forces behind the "BikeKC" plan and recipient of the Missouri Bicycle Federation's Lifetime Achievement Award. So it's great news to have him in an influential position with the American Public Works Association.
Larry just wrote me that he recently returned from speaking conference of the Slovak Republic and Czech Republic Public Works Associations. The final day was a "free day" and they took him on a 42 kilometer bike ride through the wine country of Moravia.
Now that is how all public works department meetings should end--with a good bike ride!
