Federal Communicators and others,
There's a new organization in town, one that aims to communicate the
good
work done by government employees all over the country. See the
message
below from Bethany Young and Caren Benjamin with the new Partnership
for
Public Service.
Pat
Announcing the Partnership for Public Service
http://www.ourpublicservice.org
Greetings! We would like to introduce you to the Partnership for
Public
Service, a new, non-partisan, non-profit organization created to
revitalize
the image and the reality of the public service. Our mission is to
encourage qualified men and women to choose federal service for some
or all
of their careers, and make it possible for government to retain its
high-achieving federal employees.
In the aftermath of the events on September 11, Americans got a rare
chance
to witness their federal government in action. These efficient and
heroic
efforts provided the public vivid examples of the kinds of services
the
federal government provides. Unfortunately, positive media images of
federal workers are rare. Far more often, federal agencies are
portrayed as
impenetrable bureaucracies and federal workers as hapless drones.
Given
these images, it should come as no surprise that talented recent
graduates
and mid-career professionals are increasingly uninterested in federal
service.
As the Partnership's communications team, our job is to keep in the
public's consciousness images that show government offers incomparable
opportunities to develop skills and contribute to society. Here's
where
you come in. You are in the agencies, on the ground, among the
workforce.
You know who is going above and beyond the call of duty every day and
who
is trying out innovative new ideas on the job and in the world. In
other
words, you know the positive stories that are not getting told.
We'd like you to share those positive stories with us, so we can help
share
them with your community and your country. (Please visit our website
at
<http://www.ourpublicservice.org> to see examples of the positive
stories
and agency activities we are currently highlighting.) If you have an
agency newsletter, we'd like to receive it. If your co-worker did
something
that made you proud, we'd like to hear about it. If your most
dedicated
staffer gets an award, has a significant birthday or retires after
many
years of exemplary service, tell us. We'll do what we can to tell
those
stories to the media and to convince the media to tell those stories
to
America.
Please feel free to forward any news items or communications
suggestions
via email to [log in to unmask] You can also fax us at
(202)
775-8885 or send ideas via mail to: The Partnership for Public
Service,
Attn: Communications Department, 1725 Eye Street, NW, Suite 900,
Washington, D.C.20006.
Thank you for your time and attention. We look forward to working
with you
in the future!
Sincerely,
Bethany Young and Caren Benjamin
The Partnership for Public Service
