Last week, May 1-7, was Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW). FMA National President Craig Carter led the association’s effort to support the week, urging all Americans to show their appreciation during PSRW.

"I want to take a moment to thank my Federal Managers Association colleagues, and all public servants at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels. So much of what we accomplish is taken for granted, but we know public servants strive to provide exceptional service to all Americans every day," Carter stated. "I’m happy to see the government is building off of last year’s successful ‘GovPossible’ theme and I am hopeful the spotlight on public service that shines so bright this week, reflecting the sense of duty, loyalty, and commitment to the American people, will continue to glow throughout the year."

Celebrated annually during the first week of May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week is time set aside to honor the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county, and local government employees. Throughout the country, elected officials, agency heads, communities, and public service organizations participate in PSRW by issuing proclamations, hosting award ceremonies and special tribute events, and delivering messages about the value of public service. President Biden issued a proclamation on April 29, available here.

The GovPossible campaign, led by the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Personnel Management, and Performance.gov, extends through Friday, May 13. You can access resources at this link: https://www.performance.gov/bl...
