2025 Employee Recognition Calendar and Sample Proclamations

The Kentucky League of Cities has curated a calendar of city-related recognition days, weeks, and months to help cities recognize municipal employees and heighten health and safety topics. It also lists examples of opportunities to acknowledge cultural diversity, appreciate community members, and recognize other issues.

Simple Ways to Use This Information:

  • Recognize employees at departmental or city meetings.
  • Create a city proclamation recognizing employees.
  • Thank city departments on social media.
  • Talk with local media about the value of city employees to the community during these days, weeks, or months.
  • Thank employees personally or with a note, card, visit, or call.
  • Acknowledge other types of professionals and well-known recognitions in your city.

For specific resources, just Google the day, week, or month.

KLC provides sample city proclamations for municipal recognitions as well as several others.
