<p><em><strong>"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."</strong></em></p>
<p>- Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) well known actor (Superman)<br /> <br />Although many public servants work in environments that challenge even the most optimistic, creative, and industrious personalities, they are most often highly motivated by a calling to contribute to improving the lives of their fellow citizens and by a compelling desire to address social problems. While some individuals, drawn to public service become promoted to positions of great responsibility such as the United States President and Supreme Court Justices, many, many more serve in relative anonymity. Some of these are quiet heroes and innovators who deserve to be recognized for their service to the public.</p>
In this collection we celebrate quiet heroes and innovators, some of whom have been memorialized with national monuments as in the case of Mary McLeod Bethune, an educator and activist who made significant contributions to the rights of African Americans, and was recognized with national awards for public service. The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) along with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) established the National Public Service Award to honor individual public servants who are deemed as formidable examples of public service based on their careers and accomplishment. Winners of this award are celebrated for their willingness to take risks to achieve change, for making a profound difference to improve public service, for achieving savings in government operations, developing a cadre of government leaders, and for contributing to the communities in which they live. Indeed, many of these can be regarded as quiet heroes and innovators in the public sector.

Description
An account of the resource
<p><strong><em>Here we have what rarely happens in history, a life which crowds into a handful of years significance so great, men will never forget it.</em></strong></p>
<p>By Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, former president of Howard University. Quoted in the American Red Cross's online museum article: Dr. Charles Drew, Medical Pioneer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Charles Alston, an African-American artist and educator, drew this cartoon in 1943. In addition to the athletic accomplishments of Charles Richard Drew, it also highlights the importance of his medical contributions.</p>
<p>Today’s blood banks find their roots in the research of Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950), who made important breakthroughs in the storage of blood plasma. Born in 1904, he taught in college science in Baltimore in order to save money for medical school tuition. After earning his degree from McGill University in Canada, he completed a fellowship at Columbia University. It was there that he developed a method for processing and storing blood plasma. At the time, blood was perishable and rendered unusable after a week’s time. His methods of dehydrating and shipping blood plasma were revolutionary in the medical world.</p>
<p>During World War II, one of Drew’s former professors made the following request: “Secure 5,000 ampules of dried plasma for transfusion.” By organizing a “Blood for Britain” campaign, Drew was able to fulfill this need, recruiting 100,000 blood donors for the United States military. This accomplishment brought him to a leadership position with the American Red Cross blood bank. At the time, the blood supply was segregated according to the donor’s race. After unsuccessful protest against this principle, he chose to resign from this position.</p>
<p>Charles Richard Drew also taught at Howard University, and later became the chief surgeon at Freedmen’s Hospital. He received numerous awards and honorary degrees, and, after his election to the International College of Surgeons, he advised the U.S. Surgeon General while traveling through post-war Europe.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
In her over two decades of service at Coney Island Hospital, Donna Leno Gordon has been a pioneer in the field of palliative care, the branch of medicine concerned with helping patients manage pain and discomfort and with easing the overwhelming emotional, psychological and spiritual distress of patients and families facing chronic or terminal illness. Under Gordon's leadership, Coney Island Hospital has become a local and regional leader in palliative care, launching its own dedicated 19-bed unit, a relative rarity among hospitals.
Combined, the palliative care programs at Coney Island Hospital have served more than 7,000 patients and their families and it receives 100 referrals each month. Gordon's program is so successful that since 2006 she has helped implement palliative care programs at 11 other HHC hospitals. Her colleagues praise her compassion, her calm, and her unwavering commitment to making palliative care a formalized part of institutionalized medicine. "Palliative care begins with dedicated clinicians, but it's often seen as the work of one or two caring staff members," she says. "I wanted to design an operationally sustainable program that gives clinicians replicable models so that no matter where they are, they can ensure that patients at the end of their lives have a voice." In addition to palliative care, Gordon is also an innovator in providing more humane, dignified care for the mentally ill. Her initiatives have reduced use of restraints and seclusion. "Donna has the reach, the scope and the heart of a champion," says Ross Wilson, HHC's Chief Medical Officer.

An account of the resource
<em><strong>"I was having a better time at my job than were those of my peers who had opted for private practice. Life as a public servant was more interesting. The work was more challenging. The encouragement and guidance from good mentors was more genuine. And the opportunities to take initiative and to see real results were more frequent." </strong></em><br /> <br />- Sandra Day O'Connor<br /> <br />Motivation for public service is often referred to as a “calling” and those who hear it are determined to do meaningful work that will make a difference to their communities. Often those with the motivation for public service come from families with experience working in public service. They choose to pursue an education that will prepare them for working in administrative positions or in one of the many fields of public service, such as social welfare, law enforcement, and firefighting. Those who choose to work in nonprofit organizations also share the motivation for public service with concern for the wellbeing of others over and above their own gain.<br /> <br />Many who study motivation for public service do so to inform public sector recruitment processes. Person-to-organization fit is an important aspect of successful personnel recruitment. Studies have found that the motivation for public service differs from the motivation for careers in private businesses. Another indication of motivation for public service is an interest in public policy. Public policy development is fundamental to public service since public policies indicate the focus of public service delivery and the role and function of public agencies and their employees.<br /> <br />Socialization also influences individuals’ motivation for public service. A form of socialization, in addition to parental and educational, is professional socialization. Membership in professional public service organizations, participation in their conferences and other networking activities contributes a lot to building awareness of what is entailed in responding to the call to public service.

Description
An account of the resource
The Peace Corps is a volunteer service program overseen by the United States government. Following the success of some smaller programs, like Operation Crossroads Africa, President John F. Kennedy signed an Executive order in 1961 creating the Peace Corps. Its mission is to send willing Americans to provide social and economic development abroad where it is needed, as well as acting as a soft foreign policy arm of the government to promote mutual understanding between the United States and the rest of the world. Volunteers work abroad in two-year terms with governments, schools, non-profits, and even individual entrepreneurs. Since its establishment, the Peace Corps has sent over 235,000 Americans to over 141 countries to serve. The organization has set many lofty initiatives, such as the eradication of malaria in Africa and the protection of the environment through education. The volunteers of the Peace Corps are not paid any salary, and are truly motivated by an urge to serve.

<h3><strong>Philanthropy (G-3)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<em><strong>“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” </strong></em><br /> <br />-Winston Churchill<br /> <br />Philanthropy is an age-old concept, which comes in many forms to provide support in dealing with the root causes of major global challenges; resource scarcities in small communities; and individual needs among the disabled and disadvantaged. Philanthropy provides a broad perspective for thinking about the meaning of one’s life in reference to personal sacrifice, and good will. The desire to “give back” may be the province of the most fortunate among us, but the desire to give is much more universal. Donors, whether large or small, also recognize the importance of giving more than money. Many are able to give non-financial assets, such as their influence to advance advocacy programs, contacts and networks to expand the reach of fundraising initiatives; and their professional expertise. The field of philanthropy also plays an important role in supporting experimental stages of innovative ideas, which when proven can be utilized and implemented by governments toward addressing public problems. Philanthropists are often at the helm of initiatives involving partnerships between public and private organizations as well as civil society.<br /> <br />Philanthropists have traditionally been the major contributors to the establishment of important public institutions, such as free libraries, hospitals, medical colleges, science laboratories, sports and entertainment centers, and universities. These are recognized as social investments with returns that can reduce human suffering and improve the general well-being of individuals and societies through solving social problems, enriching cultures, and strengthening societies. Philanthropy is fundamental to culture of the United States. The number of benevolent organizations continues to rise. Private businesses are also becoming more caring and socially responsible with organizational policies that promote better working environments and practices that benefit society beyond what they are legally required to do.<br /> <br />The Philanthropy gallery presents examples of noteworthy philanthropists from the mid 19th century on, who have made important contributions to humanity.

An account of the resource
Henry Phipps, Jr. was a member of the original Carnegie Steel Company, and so found himself very wealthy and very able to help others. He bought huge masses of land to share and protect them, such as the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Schenley Park in Pittsburgh and Island Beach State Park in New Jersey. He also helped make great strides in medicine by funding the Phipps Institute for the Study, Treatment and Prevention of Tuberculosis at the University of Pennsylvania and the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Service at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 1905 Phipps funded the non-profit Phipps Houses to build affordable housing in New York City. The Houses are still in use today, and his great grandson, Stuart Symington Janney III, is on the board of trustees.

<h3><strong>Motivation for the Public Service (D-3)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<em><strong>"I was having a better time at my job than were those of my peers who had opted for private practice. Life as a public servant was more interesting. The work was more challenging. The encouragement and guidance from good mentors was more genuine. And the opportunities to take initiative and to see real results were more frequent." </strong></em><br /> <br />- Sandra Day O'Connor<br /> <br />Motivation for public service is often referred to as a “calling” and those who hear it are determined to do meaningful work that will make a difference to their communities. Often those with the motivation for public service come from families with experience working in public service. They choose to pursue an education that will prepare them for working in administrative positions or in one of the many fields of public service, such as social welfare, law enforcement, and firefighting. Those who choose to work in nonprofit organizations also share the motivation for public service with concern for the wellbeing of others over and above their own gain.<br /> <br />Many who study motivation for public service do so to inform public sector recruitment processes. Person-to-organization fit is an important aspect of successful personnel recruitment. Studies have found that the motivation for public service differs from the motivation for careers in private businesses. Another indication of motivation for public service is an interest in public policy. Public policy development is fundamental to public service since public policies indicate the focus of public service delivery and the role and function of public agencies and their employees.<br /> <br />Socialization also influences individuals’ motivation for public service. A form of socialization, in addition to parental and educational, is professional socialization. Membership in professional public service organizations, participation in their conferences and other networking activities contributes a lot to building awareness of what is entailed in responding to the call to public service.
