This annual report — “A New Day for Government” — illustrates why government matters in times of calm, not just crisis, and how government’s impact on our everyday lives demands that we act to improve its effectiveness.
The Partnership for Public Service and its founders, Samuel J. Heyman and Ronnie Heyman, are profiled in the premier philanthropy publication The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
On June 24, the Partnership hosted its fifth New York City gala at Manhattan landmark Cipriani’s 42nd Street. The gala brought together more than 700 government leaders, business executives and stakeholders from the entertainment and nonprofit sectors to demonstrate their support for a vital federal government. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Theodore Roosevelt Award for the Advancement of Public Service to New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.


On June 18, the Partnership hosted a Capitol Hill breakfast in Washington, D.C., to announce 29 finalists whose work represents the important contributions of all federal employees for the good of our nation and the global community. The finalists – chosen from nearly 500 nominations – represent two dozen federal agencies and hail from ten states, plus Washington, D.C., and Jerusalem, Israel.
The Partnership commends Reps. David Price (D-NC) and Christopher Shays (R-CT) for introducing legislation, the Roosevelt Scholars Act of 2008, that creates an elite graduate school scholarship program with a unique payback – a commitment to serve our country in mission-critical federal jobs.
The federal government must do a better job integrating new employees into the workplace according to a recent report from the Partnership and management experts at Booz Allen. The Partnership assessed how to best integrate and engage new civil servants from the time they accept a job through their first year of service.

The Partnership's VP of Education and Outreach Tim McManus and career counselor Derrick Dortch offer advice on how young people can break into the public sector during a WashingtonPost.com Live Chat.
The Partnership for Public Service works to revitalize our federal government by inspiring a new generation to serve and by transforming the way government works.
Research suggests our government has a golden opportunity to attract talented, experienced workers to federal service, but that agencies must take action to more effectively appeal to this cohort.
