Every year the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals (Sammies) honors great achievements by federal employees – and time is running out to nominate someone.

Feds have until Jan. 16 to make nominations across eight categories, including for the federal employee of the year medal. Winners are based on three criteria: the impact of their work, their on-the-job innovations and their commitment to public service.

Previous Service to America Medals went to federal workers whose achievements range from leading a global vaccination campaign to save the lives of millions of children to recovering nearly a billion dollars in stolen Medicare funds.

The 2015 Service to America Medal recipients will be honored in Washington, D.C. in the fall. Thirty finalists will be recognized at a Capitol Hill awards ceremony during Public Service Recognition Week in the spring. The awards are run by the Partnership for Public Service.
