DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
According to the Partnership for Public Service, Public Service Recognition Week has been celebrated the first week of May since 1985 to honor the people who serve our nation as federal, state, county, local and tribal government employees. Throughout the nation and the world, public servants use this occasion to educate others about the work they do and why they have chosen public service careers, as well as the many ways government services make life better for all of us.
Specifically, the goals of the program are to:
• Connect and educate citizens nationwide to the work of their government.
• Improve the perception and morale of federal workers and other public servants.
• Help inspire a new generation of public servants.
Additional key messages during Public Service Recognition Week include:
• Government workers are doing important work that positively affects all of us every day.
• Government needs people like you to address the incredible challenges our nation is facing.
• Public servants deserve thanks for working diligently on our behalf.
• Government service is public service.
At the heart of Public Service Recognition Week is the opportunity to invigorate government workers by offering them the thanks they richly deserve but seldom receive. During this week-long celebration, it’s important to honor public employees and tell them their dedication and service are noticed and appreciated
