The National Public Service Awards Program recognizes individuals who exhibit the highest standards of excellence, dedication, and accomplishment over a sustained period of time and who are creative and highly skilled career managers at all levels of the public service.
Nominations are due in the fall.
ASPA and NAPA present the awards at ASPA's Annual National Conference. Because teamwork is an important part of PER's focus, only programs involving two or more employees are considered. Nominations are due in January. CSG's Innovations Awards Program was established in 1986 to bring greater visibility to exemplary state programs and policies and to facilitate the transfer of those successful experiences to other states. The Council will seek applications from students, business people, researchers, government employees and other citizens for new applications, new technology, and new ways that government can serve and connect with citizens electronically.
