Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is here! It begins on Sunday, May 7 and runs through May 13. Since 1985, PSRW has been held to honor the people who serve our nation as federal, state, county, local and tribal government employees and celebrate their commitment to their fellow Americans. And every year, the Federal Managers Association has celebrated its members who do so much to make our country great! On May 5, President Biden issued a proclamation on PSRW 2023.

“At a time when public servants are facing threats and hostility simply for doing their jobs, their continued willingness to serve is even more meaningful and important,” Biden wrote. “We have an obligation to support them and to recognize and value their commitment and sacrifice. Our Nation’s future depends on ensuring our public servants have good jobs with competitive pay and benefits, along with the resources they need to accomplish their work.” To read the full proclamation, click here.

There are many ways you can take part in the celebration this year. One way is to use the 2023 #GovPossible LinkedIn/Facebook toolkit to show your gratitude for public servants through social media templates, stickers, and more!
