Public Service Recognition Week

“I love working in the public sector because I genuinely care about people. I am a strong advocate for both our internal staff and our residents. I want everyone to feel heard and supported, especially those who may not always feel they have a voice. I speak up for others, and my calm, helpful nature allows me to connect with people from all walks of life.”

-Carrie Beaver, Transportation Department Executive Management Coordinator
 

“I chose a career in public service because it has given me the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.  Roads, bridges, and transportation systems are the backbone of our community as they connect people to jobs, schools, healthcare, and each other.  I enjoy leading teams, coordinating resources, and implementing strategies that improve infrastructure and service delivery.  It’s rewarding to know that my work has a real impact on the community. “

- Jason Holmes, Transportation Supervisor

“I love working as a public servant as I am living my dream and passion of making a small difference to better the lives of others around me. As a planner and urban designer, I am passionate about engaging the community to plan, design and shape the future of Raleigh. Public service is the most rewarding and fulfilling experience for me as each day coming into work, I am motivated as I realize that I could contribute in small to significant ways, towards making Raleigh a better community for all. As key projects or policies get implemented and the community benefits become apparent over time, there is boundless, immeasurable joy I experience as a public servant.”
