Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals
The Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals, also known as “the Sammies,” honor stars of the Federal government workforce, highlighting the work of employees making significant contributions to the governance of the United States. The awards are considered "the Oscars” of American government service.〔Stand-Out Public Servants Receive Coveted Service to America Medals at Washington, D.C. Gala; "Oscars" of Government Service Recipients Work in Washington, D.C., Colorado, Florida, California and Haiti (Sept. 16, (2010 )); see also Timothy B. Clark, Making a Difference, National Journal (Oct. 7, 2006).〕 The Sammies accordingly celebrate excellence in the federal merit service.〔Gabrielle Maxey, Risky Business, The University of Memphis Magazine (Fall (2010 )); ''see also'' Marie Gilbert, "Hagerstown man one of 34 finalists for the 2011 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals", ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 ) (reporting on the finalist Daniel P. Meyer from the Department of Defense).〕
==Selection Process==
The Sammies are chosen from nominations collected each winter, and winnowed down to 32 finalists announced mid-spring of each year. The 32 finalists are assessed, and from their ranks, nine awardees are selected by early fall. The Sammy selection committee is composed of nationally-known journalists, political leaders, educators, and executives of large corporations. The eight awards cover the various sectors of federal public service.〔Service to America Medals Partnership for America, Washington Life Magazine (Dec. (2003 )).〕 Honorees are chosen for their commitment and innovation, as well as the impact of their work on addressing the needs of the republic. Awardees are announced each fall at a dinner and awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.〔The Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals (Sammies)(Apr. 20,(2011 )).〕 The “Sammies” finalists are those federal employees confronting complex issues of governance, including environmental, national security, and economic challenges. One criterion of the award is to qualify from among a dynamic group of talented, bright individuals working on behalf of the American people.〔Alumnus Shane Kelly honored with Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal, Metro State Alumni & Friends (Oct. 1, (2010 )).〕 The awards are organized and presented by the non-profit organization Partnership for Public Service.〔Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class(SW/AW) Derrick M.
