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 to highlight the work of public servants across the country and at all levels of government and continues to spearhead activities during PSRW today. PER is currently comprised of federal employee organizations and other good government groups from across the federal community.
