In recognition of this year’s Public Service Recognition Week (May 5-11), observed every year the first full week of May, Team AgLearn is providing information and resources to celebrate all the hard work done by public servants at USDA and beyond.
Public Service Recognition Week
Since 1985, the first full week of May has been set aside as Public Service Recognition Week External Link (PSRW) to honor the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county, and local government employees. It provides a fitting time to not only celebrate the contributions of USDA staff but also contributions of the entire federal workforce now—and throughout history.
