Archivist’s AwardsCeremonyMAY 7, 2015National Archives, College Park, Maryland

Welcome{ {

Welcome to the 15th Annual Archivist’s Awards. This first week

of May is designated as Public Service Recognition Week, and

this year’s theme is Government Works. Public servants do amazing

things across our great nation and around the world. So it is especially

appropriate this week to recognize the outstanding achievements made by

our colleagues here at the National Archives and Records Administration.

The accomplishments we salute today are prime examples of the

work we do every day toward our four strategic goals:

• Make Access Happen

• Connect with Customers

• Maximize NARA’s Value to the Nation

• Build Our Future Through Our People

It takes every one of us, working together, to successfully pursue

NARA’s mission to provide public access to Federal records. Our mission

is a lofty one and serves the needs and interests of people today and far

into the future. Records matter and what we do matters.

We see dedication to this mission in every part of NARA across

the nation, expressed in the work of every person in every facility.

To the award recipients: congratulations on your achievements.

To all our staff members: thank you for your efforts day in and day out in

the service of our mission and of the American people.
