The Partnership for Public Service has put on the Service to America medals for more than two decades to recognize exceptional civil servants, but the event took on more resonance this year amid federal workforce cuts.
The Arthur S. Flemming awards, co-coordinated by the George Washington University Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration and the National Academy of Public Administration, is celebrating its 75th year honoring exceptional federal employees.
A team of Labor Department employees who discovered that teenagers were being used to work on dangerous machinery in slaughterhouses across the country won the award for federal employee of the year.
Mary Frances Berry and James Lee Witt join the sixth class of this distinguished group. All the inductees will be honored at a gala celebration on April 24.
It’s now. Luckily, we have one. And nominations are open for this year’s class of inductees, along with the annual Teddy Awards for leadership achievement.
