The awards ceremony also will feature presentation of the Keeper of the Flame Award, given to individuals who continue to provide public service after their official retirement from the public service profession. This year’s recipients are Marcy Crowley, former director of professional development for the College of Public and Community Service, University of Massachusetts at Boston, and Harriett G. Jenkins, former director of the U.S. Senate Office of Fair Employment Practices.
