Welcome to the kickoff of the new govviegal blog! We’re very excited to not only put on display the many and varied looks and styles of our fellow govviegals and govvieguys, but also the achievements, lives, and inspirational stories of those brave souls who have chosen public service as a career.

One of this blog’s most central goals is to highlight in an informal manner the individual and collective contributions this diverse community of public servants has made to society while serving the public interest. We seek to empower our readers through captivating stories from which to learn and self-educate.

The lasting formula:

Take one part competence, one part confidence, one part playing well with others, and 3 parts image (doesn’t matter what you say, guys and gals, this is the first – and often lasting – impression others have of you).

Exploring each one of these parts in full provides a fresh new platform from which government and corporate workers across the various enterprises can connect, mentor, and lead the way.

So follow us, and pass the word to other great guys and gals who, like yourself, have dedicated themselves to the service of the American public or to the highest ethical standards in the corporate world.

As our readership base continues to grow and diversify, we encourage members to contribute their own govviegal and govvieguy styles, stories, and experiences. Contributing/guest authors may contact us at vanessa{at}govviegal{dot}com. Submissions, regardless of media format, will become the exclusive property of govviegal.com and will not be returned or removed from publication (please read our complete submission policy here).
