Shout-out To You!
A message from Chairman Jay Clayton
Today marks the start of Public Service Recognition Week. During the past year, I have seen firsthand the incredible work you do on behalf of the agency and our Main Street investors. Your work is not easy, and your responsibilities are great.
Yet every day, through your hard work and dedication, you further our mission. You help companies raise capital and create jobs. You protect investors from fraud and educate them on the importance of saving and investing early, so that they can achieve their goals. You work to improve the efficiency of our markets. And you make our agency run effectively day-in and day-out. You do all of this with the utmost integrity.
Our agency’s reputation allows us to earn the trust of the American people, and that reputation has been built by your efforts. During the past year, as I have met with my counterparts at other regulatory agencies in the U.S. and abroad, they have uniformly recognized the SEC’s excellence.
I am proud to work alongside you. Thank you again for your public service!

Thank you for choosing to work on behalf of the American public.

A message from Commissioner Michael Piwowar
The United States was founded on the idea that the government should work for the people, permanently replacing those that rule the public with those that serve it. During Public Service Recognition Week, we acknowledge those who give back to their country and their communities by taking on important jobs that benefit everyone. The SEC’s employees carry on this tradition by faithfully executing the laws that govern our agency, carrying out their duties with purpose, and committing themselves to our mission.
The work is often difficult and sometimes thankless, but each and every employee here is providing a valuable service to the American public.
Thank you for choosing to work on behalf of the American public.

A message from Commissioner Robert Jackson
The most important thing I’ve learned in my first three months at the SEC is how lucky we are to have each one of you working on behalf of investors. This morning, millions of Americans woke up with their savings, their companies, and their dreams for their families’ futures safer because of you.
For me, the real honor of public service is a chance to be a part of that work. I am so proud to be your colleague, and urge each one of you today to take a moment to reflect upon all you do—and all it means for families across the Nation.
