WELCOME

The PAR Public Service Foundation is pleased to announce the establishment of our website.

We want you to help us recognize, honor, and celebrate the many women and men in our country who touch our lives every day with essential public services and make democracy work at the local level.

The Foundation is named after Paul A. Reaume, a public servant for nearly fifty years of his life.
One of the things Paul liked best about his work as a City Manager and then as a Consultant were the many wonderful and dedicated people he met during his work. He enjoyed getting to know people in local government all over the country. So many of them were people he admired and respected.

Before Paul passed away in July of 2003, he had often talked about establishing a not-for-profit foundation to honor all of the people who have served their community and their neighbors through some type of local government organization.

He wanted to find ways to celebrate their contributions.

And he wanted to find ways to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to make a contribution to their local governments and communities.

It was because of his desires that the PAR Public Service Foundation has been organized. In the coming months and years, the Foundation will be developing programs to fulfill Paul's ideals and continue his legacy as a "Champion of Local Government." Our first program is the "Local Government Honor Roll."

Please explore our website. Join us in supporting public service and public servants. If you have ideas and suggestions on how the PAR Public Service Foundation can achieve its Goals and Objectives, please email me at info@parfoundation.org.
