functions.
Up to five awards are presented annually to public service practitioners
who currently work or who have spent the primary part of their careers working

contributions on a sustained basis rather than those who have ,performed a single
exceptional public service deed. Award winners will be selected from all levels
of public service (local, state, and federal governments, international and
nonprofit organizations), but awards will not be chosen by category. Nominees
should have responsibility for accomplishing or causing to be accomplished signifi-
cant programs or projects within their areas of responsibility, to the ultimate
benefit of the general public.
Since the awards are to focus on practitioners currently involved in the
public service, individuals who have retired from a public service career are
ineligible. Persons holding elected offices will be evaluated on the basis
