Rewarding "Outstanding" DC Government Workers

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

With government workers across the region being targeted for layoffs and cutbacks, the Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation Awards for Distinguished District of Columbia Employees are a welcome breath of fresh air. “As members of the DC community, we are fortunate to have countless examples of public servants who work towards the greater good of this unique city,” say award organizers. “These often unsung heroes uphold the public interest amidst competing interests, pressures, and demands. It is time to publicly recognize and celebrate their efforts!” The awards recognize outstanding DC government employees whose performance exemplifies the best in public service. Nominations are being accepted until November 15; click here for more information and to submit nominations.
