Celebrated the first full week of May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is organized annually to honor the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county, and local government employees. Cherokee County uses this week to honor its employees efforts and express gratitude for their exceptionalism and commitment to serving the county.

In lieu of organizing an employee appreciation day or picnic that not all employees are able to attend due to the broad spectrum of services Cherokee County employees provide to citizens, which demands a variety of schedules, the county uses this week to bring appreciation to every department by supplying a meal of their choosing. Its a great time to allow each team to take a break together and enjoy some camaraderie.

This is the countys second year celebrating PSRW, and it is anticipated to grow each year. The county hopes to spread this tradition to neighboring cities and counties, as county employees have been extremely receptive to the recognition; just one more reason Cherokee County is a great place to live, work, and play!
