Public Service Recognition Week – May 4-10, 2014

It’s amazing to me that there are public servants like myself who don’t know about Public Service Recognition Week and/or don’t plan to celebrate this week.

The Partnership for Public Service and the Public Employee’s Roundtable sponsor this annual celebration of service.

It would be great to have a GovLoop team for the 5K Run/Walk.

The Townhall Meeting will be webcast this year for those outside the DC area.
