Dear Partnership friends and supporters,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than a decade, I was fortunate enough to count Cokie Roberts\nas a board colleague and a friend. Serving on the Partnership\u2019s Board of\nDirectors since 2004, Cokie\u2019s personal commitment to public service, and her appreciation\nfor our nation\u2019s civil servants, was evident throughout her involvement in our\nwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many years, Cokie participated in our board conversations about the\nPartnership\u2019s unique, nonpartisan role in helping improve our government. She\nalso served as an emcee at our annual Samuel J. Heyman Service to America\nMedals gala and skillfully facilitated events with federal executives, where she\noften reminded them of their outsized responsibility to lead effectively and\nrestore public trust in our government institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cokie was quick to let us know when we were doing well, and when and\nhow we could do better. She took time to send a congratulatory note when\nsomething went the Partnership\u2019s way, or to encourage us to carry on when we\nfaced difficult situations. She was a steady presence in our orbit, and it was\nclear she was deeply committed to ensuring we all have a government that is effective,\ntrustworthy and capable of serving in the public interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the most serious of board discussions, Cokie often brought levity by\ninvoking a historical fact or simply acknowledging the absurdity of a\ngovernment problem we were trying to address, such as helping a government\ndesperate for high-quality talent that is stymied by its own archaic and\ninefficient federal hiring processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cokie had many dedicated fans on our staff and board who would position\nthemselves next to her hoping to talk to her on the side, whether about current\nevents or their day-to-day lives. She often shared her\nown plans for trips with her beloved family and reminded us not to let such opportunities\npass by due to a sense that work was more important. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the public, Cokie was a national treasure whose books, articles and commentary reminded us of our rich, shared American history and educated us about the issues of the day. <\/a>To me, she was a beloved colleague, friend and steadfast ally in the Partnership\u2019s mission to foster a more effective government for the people. On behalf of all of us at the Partnership, we send deepest condolences to Cokie\u2019s family, friends and loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
