NIEHS held its annual Years of Service Awards ceremony Sept. 6 in Rodbell Auditorium. Hosted by NIEHS/NTP Director Linda Birnbaum, Ph.D., the gathering recognized 40 Institute employees, commemorating career milestones of 10, 20, 30, and 40 years of federal service.

“As government employees, we all know that, first and foremost, our top responsibility is to serve the American people,” said Birnbaum. “Here at NIEHS, that means maintaining a strong commitment to funding and supporting groundbreaking research. This requires a lot of hard work and dedication. But beyond the hours, it requires a very unique type of individual.”

Assisted by NIEHS Deputy Director Richard Woychik, Ph.D., Birnbaum presented each honoree with a framed certificate and a big congratulatory handshake, all captured by a photograph. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the awardees were joined by their peers, as well as several members of NIEHS leadership, for a cake and ice cream reception in the main lobby of the Rall building.
