In Search of Heroes of the Public Service
The nomination deadline for this year’s Service to America Medals is quickly approaching.
Do you think it’s about time that outstanding public servants get some recognition for the work they do? Well, here’s your chance to do something about it.
Nominations for this year’s Service to America Medals, sponsored by the Partnership for Public Service, are closing soon--Jan. 16, to be exact.
All career civilian federal employees are eligible for the honor. Medals are awarded in eight categories:
- Career Achievement
- Call to Service
- Citizen Services
- Homeland Security and Law Enforcement
- Management Excellence
- National Security and International Affairs
- Science and Environment
- Federal Employee of the Year
Honorees are selected, the Partnership for Public Service says, based on the “impact of their work on meeting the needs of the nation, on-the-job innovation, and commitment to public service.”
Thirty finalists for the awards will be recognized at a Capitol Hill event this spring. Winners will be honored in the fall at a gala dinner in Washington.
