Public Service Recognition Week: Mark Your Calendar and Nominate a Colleague
Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is a time when we celebrate those who serve our nation as federal, state, county, and other government employees.
During the week of May 3–9, 2026, the Office of Financial Management is coordinating local events and employee awards recognizing Washington state employees’ service. These events are made possible through the generosity of event sponsors and the support of state employee volunteers.
