It’s Public Service Recognition Week! CSOSA is honored to celebrate and express gratitude to its employees for all they do. Celebrated the first full week in May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week honors the people who serve our nation as federal, state, county, local, and tribal government employees.

In a Proclamation on Public Service Recognition Week, President Biden said “Our Nation’s over 20 million public servants work hard to deliver for our families, communities, and country. Their work matters to people’s everyday lives: They keep neighborhoods safe and the buses running, and build futures for people in their hometowns. They are the lifeblood of our democracy, acting as brave first responders, election workers, and service members defending our country. This week, we recognize our Nation’s public servants, who do the humble yet critical work of keeping our country running.”

Each day, CSOSA employees make the decision to build a better District of Columbia and change people’s lives by working for this agency. The positive impact CSOSA has on individual lives and the community at large would not be possible without the effort of every team member in every area of the agency—whether they work with supervisees directly, or in a position that supports the functioning of the agency.

CSOSA Director Richard S. Tischner joins the heads of other federal agencies in recognizing the valuable contributions of those who have dedicated themselves to public service in the Public Service Recognition Week Co-Chair Letter.
