Each year during the first full week of May, GSA is one of many federal agencies nationally celebrating Public Service Recognition Week to honor and showcase our appreciation for all of the hardworking people that keep our government running nationwide, making #GovPossible! This year, Region 8 is highlighting its legacy employees, those who have 30 or more years of military or civilian federal service. Learn how they began careers in federal service, their journeys to our organization, advice for new federal employees, and their lasting career legacy. Federal Legacies will inspire current, new and potential employees to consider a long-term career at our organization and in the federal government. We’ll continue to feature Federal Legacies all year-long.
