Whereas, State employees are recognized as an invaluable resource to State
of Michigan Government and the State is served by loyal employees in many essential
areas including education, public safety, transportation, human services and
the environment; and,
Whereas, State employees dedicate themselves to the continuous improvement
of the quality of life for Michigan citizens as they perform their duties as
public servants; and,
Whereas, State employees provide services with professionalism, skill and dedication
that have helped Michigan develop a reputation for quality and excellence and
are on duty every day, ready to render assistance to their fellow Michigan citizens
in critical times of need; and,
Whereas, Public service demands excellence, diversity and perseverance in the
provision of health and human services, transportation systems, environmental
protection, recreational areas and travel service, business and agricultural
development, public safety, and numerous support activities to ensure the well-being
of our Great Lakes State; and,
Whereas, Public Service Recognition Week, beginning May 5, 2003, is a nationally
recognized event that provides an opportunity to express our appreciation to
public service employees who contribute so significantly to the efficient and
effective operation of Michigan; and now therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim May 7, 2003, as State Employee Recognition Day in Michigan,
and I encourage all our citizens to take this opportunity to join me in expressing
to all State employees our appreciation for their commendable service.
