In an effort to change the image of the government-sector workforce, a new site highlights the stories of public servants.

IAmPublicService.org — a new site sponsored by GovLoop, the social networking site for government employees — is calling for submissions of stories from people who are government workers. Selected stories will be included in a book that will be released with the Inauguration January 20th. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 12th.

The mission of IAmPublicService.org is “is to inform US citizens about the success stories of public sector personnel and to inspire the next generation of public servants. We achieve this mission by highlighting and honoring people who have dedicated their careers to leaving a legacy of effective and efficient government.”
