Every year since 1985, the first week of May has been set aside as Public Service Recognition Week, a time to thank dedicated public servants from federal, state, and local governments across the country.

Share your pride

During this special week, you can share your pride in your public service by joining OHR at the Spring Bazaar event on May 7! The OHR Employee Engagement team will have this template available to fill out and give thanks to a special public servant. You can also use the downloadable templates below to share:

• Why you serve 
• Why you ❤️ Public Service 
• Why you appreciate public servants 
• Your photo 

Post your photos on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Instagram using the following hashtags: #NIH, #PSRW, and #Proud2ServeUSA. The #NIH hashtag allows NIH to find our employees. You can also send your photos to NIHPSRW@nih.gov.
