On Sept. 11, 2001, I was on Capitol Hill preparing to announce the organization\u2019s launch at a breakfast hosted by the two chairmen of the House and Senate government affairs committees when a hijacked airliner hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. News of other attacks followed as I walked back to our downtown office. The Partnership officially launched about a month later, with our country still grappling with the fallout from the deadliest attack on American soil in U.S. history. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Partnership-launch_crop.jpg\" alt=\"Partnership for Public Service launch invitation.\" class=\"wp-image-25921\" width=\"340\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Partnership-launch_crop.jpg 706w, https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Partnership-launch_crop-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><figcaption>An invitation for the Partnership&#8217;s launch on Sept. 11, 2001.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in many ways a fitting, though tragic, founding moment. The 9\/11 attacks showed why our work matters. They underscored our country\u2019s need for an effective federal government\u2014one that is equipped with the tools, resources and personnel to prevent and quickly respond to national crises and solve massive challenges\u2014and catalyzed a new call to service. Americans answered that call, serving with renewed urgency as first responders, military service members, diplomatic and national security staff, and more in the face of great adversity. As a result, public trust in government reached its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/politics\/2021\/05\/17\/public-trust-in-government-1958-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">highest point<\/a> in more than three decades. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-work-we-have-done\"><strong>The work we have done<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we remain committed to our mission of building a better government and a stronger democracy that serves the diverse needs of our nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/our-work\/leadership-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leadership development<\/a> courses have provided over 29,000 federal employees with the skills they need to drive change and achieve results at their agencies. Our annual <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacestowork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Places to Work in the Federal Government<\/a>\u00ae rankings offer the most comprehensive assessment of how &nbsp;federal public servants view their jobs and have held more than 600 agencies and subcomponents accountable for engaging their employees and motivating increased performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/presidentialtransition.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Presidential Transition<\/a> has helped transform the process by which presidential candidates and their teams prepare for a new administration or a second term, and our flagship <a href=\"https:\/\/servicetoamericamedals.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals\u00ae<\/a> program has recognized the exceptional work of more than 660 federal employees, in turn reigniting public faith in the power of public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we have championed and informed 50 pieces of legislation designed to improve the way government works and we manage a large portfolio of <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/our-work\/federal-hiring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fellowship and internship programs<\/a>. One of them, Call to Serve, has worked with <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/programs\/call-to-serve-colleges-and-universities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 700 colleges and universities<\/a> to bring the next generation of public servants into the federal workforce since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The work we need to do<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are proud of these accomplishments, but know there is more to do.
