This week, we hosted our 2024 Outstanding Public Service Awards at the Northwood Cider Co. in Norwood, Ohio. The Awards honor outstanding individuals for their work in the field of public administration across six categories, including:

• Career Achievement
• Individual Contributor/Mid-Careerist
• Young Professional/Early Careerist
• Support Services
• Student
• Public Service Initiative

This event was especially significant because, in addition to honoring our 2024 award recipients, we were also able to honor the 2020 recipients, whom we unfortunately could not celebrate in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the event! It was an exciting and fun night to celebrate and network with some of the best public servants throughout the Greater Cincinnati region. Additionally, a special thanks to the ASPA-GCC board members, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make the event such a success.

Below is a list of winners and some photos from the event.
