MAYOR GIULIANI HONORS RECIPIENTS OF THE 2000 HUNDRED YEAR
ASSOCIATION ISAAC LIBERMAN PUBLIC SERVICE AWARDS

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, William J. Diamond, Commissioner of the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, and Richard A. Cook, President of the Hundred Year Association of New York, today honored the winners of this year’s Hundred Year Association Isaac Liberman Public Service Awards. These individuals, 17 City employees and 27 sons and daughters of City employees, will receive college scholarships totaling nearly $75,000 from the Association and its member organizations.

Each year, the Hundred Year Association reviews the achievements of City employees to identify those who, through dedication beyond their job descriptions, have provided outstanding service to the people of New York City. Winners are chosen by a committee comprised of representatives of the Association and the City.

“Today’s ceremony offers us the opportunity, on behalf of all New Yorkers, to thank today’s award recipients for their hard work,” said Mayor Giuliani. “They have proven themselves to be a necessary and critical part of the life and spirit of New York City. Their commitment to the City has been the foundation for our City’s renaissance -- from our historic reductions in crime, to our reform of social services, to our record job creation - none of this would have been possible without their hard work. Their dedication is an inspiration to all New Yorkers.”

Mr. Cook said, “These students are products of our great City, they are products for our City schools, and they are a product of our dedicated New York City civil service employees.”

Commissioner Diamond said, “These individuals not only exemplify the best in public service, they make a difference in their communities. As a result of their dedication, this City is a better place to live and work.”

The Hundred Year Association -- founded in 1927 and composed of businesses, professional, educational and charitable organizations that have been in continuous operation in New York City for over a century -- has honored career civil service employees for over 40 years. In addition, for the past 29 years, the Association has awarded college scholarships to the children of city employees for outstanding academic achievement and community service.

The Association’s awards are augmented by several member sponsored awards funded by: Amalgamated Bank of New York; Atlantic Mutual Companies; The Bank of New York; Bowne of New York City; Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation; The Chase Manhattan Bank; The Chief-Leader; Consolidated Edison of New York; Dancker Sellew & Douglas; The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB; E-J Electric Installation Co.; Emigrant Savings Bank; Emmet, Marvin & Martin; Hagedorn & Company; Independence Community Foundation; James Thompson & Co.; KeySpan Energy; Lehman Brothers; M & T Bank, New York City Division; New York University; PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; Schieffelin & Somerset Co.; and Scientific American.

Recipients of public service awards received $1,000 to $5,000. Children of city employees received $1,000 to $6,000 college scholarships.
