This week is Public Service Recognition Week – An important opportunity to recognize and thank the men and women who work tirelessly on behalf of America’s businesses, communities and workers. The most important asset of any company or agency is its people. As someone who came to this role from the private sector, I deeply appreciate the passion, dedication and service each of you displays every day. Your work is critical to supporting America’s businesses and workers as they create jobs and prosperity throughout America. In particular, I would like to thank you for all you do to advance our Department’s Open for Business Agenda and for your commitment to building a culture of excellence and responsiveness. It is an honor to serve alongside such a talented and passionate group of dedicated employees. Once again, thank you for all that you do on behalf of our nation.
