CELEBRATING OUR 10 TH ANNIVERSARY

JIM VOLCKER Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

A central part of my father’s legacy is the value and importance of public service, based on his many decades of work in that sector. For me, that has translated into working toward something bigger than yourself. In this way, Paul followed in the footsteps of his father, who as a civil engineer built the lock system around Lyons, NY and then went on to become the first city manager of Teaneck, NJ.

Over his multi-faceted career, Paul Volcker provided a model of public service. He demonstrated how an educated and dedicated citizen can put training and experience to work for the greater good, improving the quality of government and helping to implement policy effectively. He had the courage that comes with an unwavering commitment to principles—in his case the three verities of stable prices, sound finance, and good government. He reminded us that government relies on people like him—those who are “keeping at it.”

The Volcker Alliance helped our region organize a structured, sustained network of government institutions and universities to strengthen recruitment for the public workforce. The Alliance continues to provide valuable insight, resources, and national partners that are propelling our progress. Governments at all levels are being confronted with increasingly complex challenges, and the need for public talent has never been greater nor more urgent. Volcker is an essential partner in our capacity to meet this challenge, and its commitment to advancing public service excellence is among our most important assets.

The Volcker Alliance is the principal nonprofit advocate for public service professionalism in higher education. Its integrity begins with its founder, Paul A. Volcker, who prized scientific logic and impartial reasoning over prevailing opinion and partisanship.
