Public Service Recognition Week Conference

Celebrated the first full week in May since 1985, Public Service Recognition week (PSRW) is a time set aside to honor the individuals who serve our nation as federal, state, country and local government employees. The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) includes nonprofit employees in PSRW because of the importance of public-nonprofit partnerships in the design and delivery of public services. 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. PSRW calls attention to the important work happening in the public sector throughout the year. Fundraisers, baseball games, proclamations, awards events and more take place across the country, celebrating public service.
