Public Service Day: June 23rd

Public Service Day is a worldwide observation that takes place on the 23rd day of June every year. The date of June 23rd also provides the public with a very opportune chance to show their heartfelt appreciation of public servants for all their hard work, diligent efforts and steadfast devotion to the continual betterment of the communities where they live and serve.

To recognize the hard work of the world’s vast number of public service workers such as nurses, schoolteachers, firefighters and city administrators, the United Nations created the Public Service Day observation back in 2002. It is an unfortunate reality that, at times, the amazing contributions of public servants can go unrecognized by the very same individuals that seem to benefit the most from their selfless actions.

Without the assertive actions and strategies made by those in the public service field, the initiation of positive changes and advantageous policies would be slow to come. Also, the public’s lives and well-being simply would not be nurtured. In essence, June 23rd is the perfect day to thank the hard-working public servants in your city who work to enhance the lives of the people in their local communities.
