Dear Mayors, County and Tribal Leaders,
A Serve Washington
Changing Communities. Changing Lives.
On behalf of the Washington State Office of the Corporation for National and
Community Service and Serve Washington, we thank you for participating in the
2017 Day of Recognition for National Service.
On April 4, 2017, the fifth -annual event united more than 4,520 local leaders
from across the country to spotlight the impact of national service and honor
those who serve. Mayors, county and tribal officials in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico officially recognized the work that
AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers are doing to make cities
better and stronger. Together, these elected officials represent more than 194
million Americans, or more than half of the population.
Mayors, county and tribal leaders are increasingly turning to national service as
a cost-effective strategy to address local challenges. By unleashing the power of
citizens, AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs have a positive and lasting
impact - making our communities better places to live.
We thank you for your support and hope you will join us in 2018.
In Service,
