The Office of The General Counsel Annual Awards Ceremony is an opportunity to recognize the talent and commitment of OGC support staff and attorneys. Every employee of OGC plays a critical role in achieving overall success of the organization’s function. In recognizing the dedication to achieving OGC success, it is important that we take the time to recognize our employees and build a positive morale reminding our employees that they are our number one asset.

The Secretary is giving opening remarks and awarding the 2013 Service Awards Recipients. The Service Award recipients are employees who have served 30 years or more in public service.  In addition, The Secretary will take  photo  with the Attorney and Support Staff Person of the Year Award recipients who will be announced at the ceremony. The Secretary is participating to her commitment to employee morale and that she values the work of OGC. Further, awarding the Service Awards serves as a channel in showing all of the attendees why we value civil servants who have devoted their professional lives to public service.

This is a one-day ceremony that happens annually. The Office of General Counsel Front Office has made the request for the Secretary to participate. Former Secretaries have participated in past OGC Award Ceremonies.
