Did You Know?

May 7-13 is Public Service Workers Recognition Week
Tag us on social media!

All next week, join the City in a weeklong recognition of workers in the public service sector, sponsored by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the Partnership for Public Service. Since 1985, the first week of May has been set aside to honor those who serve our nation as federal, state, county and local government employees. This week, the City of Santa Rosa would like you to get in on the action of celebrating the great work our City staff does. Tag your appreciation—with a photo or text—of our public servants with #PSPW on your Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. We plan on resharing some of them on the City’s new Instagram (@cityofsr). And if you are interested in joining our workforce and serving the public, check out the City’s current job openings. VIEW OPENINGS
