BACKGROUND
The Arthur S. Flemming Awards honor outstanding federal employees with three to 15 years of federal service for their exceptional contributions to the federal government. The award is named after quintessential public servant Arthur S. Flemming, who served in government for more than six decades spanning seven administrations and including service as the secretary of health, education and welfare under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton in 1994 and passed away two years later.
The Flemming Awards are presented by the Arthur S. Flemming Commission and the George Washington University Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, in cooperation with the National Academy of Public Administration.
