This event has evolved and grown over the last 28 years, but its purpose remains the same: to recognize and acknowledge exemplary job performance and leadership by San Francisco city employees. This year we are holding the awards ceremony in the spectacular rotunda in San Francisco City Hall, where the Honorable Gavin Newsom will present a select number of outstanding City employees with the distinguished Public Managerial Excellence Award.
