SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The nation’s mayors and county officials are increasingly turning to national service as a cost-effective strategy to address local challenges. By unleashing the power of citizens, volunteer
programs have a positive and lasting impact – making our cities and counties better places to live. To spotlight the impact of national service and thank those who serve, mayors and
county officials will participate in the fifth-annual Mayor and County Recognition Day for National Service on April 4, 2017.
On this day, mayors and county officials will hold public events and use traditional and social media to highlight the value of national service to the nation’s cities and counties.
Last year, 3,539 elected officials representing more than 178 million Americans participated in the fourth-annual Mayor and County Recognition Day for National Service. The initiative
is being led by the National League of Cities, National Association of Counties, Cities of Service and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Why a Recognition Day?
A coordinated day of recognition presents a unique opportunity to spotlight the key role that national service plays in solving local problems and challenges. Participating in the day
will highlight the impact of citizen service, show support for nonprofit and national service groups, and inspire more residents to serve in their communities. A Proclamation is attatched.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 4, 2017, as National Service Recognition Day and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation
