The Partnership for Public Service and Former Gov present a day of connection, resources and events to honor public servants past and present at the Former Gov Coworking Space at Eaton House in Washington, D.C.. Join us on Tuesday, May 5, for this intimate event exploring public service, civic responsibility, and the people behind the machinery of government.
Stop by in-person throughout the day to connect with the public service community and chat with organizational leaders, including partners from Civil Service Strong, wellfed, the Environmental Protection Network and Virginia Works. Additionally, participate in Public Service Recognition week activities and calls to action as well as access breakout conversations offering the updates on the state of the civil service, local resources and stories of public servants.
Snacks and beverages will be provided throughout the day and in addition, lunch will be available for those in attendance during the noon hour. Please RSVP regardless of how much of the day you plan to attend. Participants may join for one breakout session or stay through the day!
