“Honoring Our Public Servants. Connecting Citizens with Their Government. May 5–11, 2013. Celebrated the first week of May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is time set aside to honor the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county and local government employees and ensure that our government is the best in the world. Throughout the country, mayors, governors, agency leaders, 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. PSRW is organized annually by the Public Employees Roundtable (PER) and its member organizations.”
