Public Employees Roundtable Member Organizations

The Public Employees Roundtable (PER) was established in 1982 as a nonpartisan coalition of more than 30 Washington-based organizations striving to balance rhetoric that maligned and minimized the nation’s public servants. With its member organizations and congressional support PER started Public Service Recognition Week in 1985. In addition to Public Service Recognition Week, PER’s activities have included the Public Service Excellence Awards, publications, newspaper feature articles, high school debates and over $100,000 in public service scholarship awards over a ten-year period.
