NOBILITY IN PUBLIC SERVICE
"One of our goals in founding the Archer Center was to encourage young people to look seriously at public service as a career. I have seen many talented people forego careers in government for positions elsewhere, claiming that the nobility of public service was a thing of the past. But we think it's a thing of the future-and it starts here at the Archer Center." - U.S. Congressman Bill Archer (Ret.)
