Public Officials of the Year 2014

Each year, Governing hosts an awards banquet in Washington to honor individual state and local government officials for outstanding accomplishment. Our Public Officials of the Year are elected, appointed and career officials from any branch of state or local government who are nominated by Governing's readers and selected by our editors.

This is an invitation-only event.

Awardees will be profiled in the November issue of Governing magazine.
