Public Service Recognition Week

Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) has been set aside for the full first week of May for over 30 years to honor those who serve our nation as federal, state, county, and local government employees. OFM State Human Resources coordinates the Washington state annual celebration and employee awards, to ensure state employees are recognized and honored for their great work and service to the public during the week of May 5-9 this year.

We need your support! If you would like to volunteer for the awards ceremony please contact us at psrw@ofm.wa.gov for more information.
