<h3><strong>Quiet Heroes and Innovators (D-4)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<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
DMV Reformer of the '90s
Appointed by Gov. Pete Wilson, Mr. Zolin moved to Sacramento in 1991 to lead the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) after overseeing the Los Angeles Superior Court system. He implemented customer service improvements and pulled the plug on a costly project to develop a DMV computer system that was approved before he took office. He resigned in 1995 over policy differences with Wilson administration officials, saying that planned budget cutbacks would result in slower service and longer lines at DMV offices.

Description
An account of the resource
This is a photograph of social reformer General Ballington Booth. He and his wife, Maud Booth, founded the Volunteers of America in 1896.
Founded in 1896, Volunteers of America is one of the largest human services organizations in the United States. Every year, their efforts affect the lives of over 2 million people throughout the nation.
The organization's founders, Ballington and Maud Booth, originally envisioned a "movement dedicated to reaching and uplifting the American people," pledging to "go wherever we are needed, and do whatever comes to hand." Since the early 1900s, VOA has helped millions of poverty-stricken people throughout the United States. Their programs have spanned everything from soup kitchens to affordable housing, and they have hosted a variety of events from "Penny Pantries" during the Great Depression to salvage drives during World War II.
