* Senator Robert Dvorsky, Representative Annette Sweeney; 2011 Uncommon Public Service Award Recipients
Herbert Hoover Uncommon Public Service Award
Presented by: Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association
The Uncommon Public Service Award was set up by the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association to honor those public servants who make use of their time doing service work and humanitarian projects. While the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association appoints a panel of judges from the Board of Trustees, the Association requests the public to nominate a legislator who exemplifies and demonstrates honesty, integrity and uncommon and extraordinary public service to the people of Iowa. The nominees are judged solely on their public service and humanitarian projects. Names, locations and political affiliation of the nominated legislators are not seen by the judges.
Each year the two Uncommon Public Service Award recipients have come from and represented both political parties.
"Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one." Herbert Hoover
