During these career conversa- tions, I remind them of something that too few parents realize...their Uncle Sam needs them...to answer the call to public service. It's been more than 40 years since !President John F. McGinnis Kennedy challenged young people to "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." There's reason to think about pub- lic service as a career option right now: Those who answered that call are retiring, and a new gener- ation of the "best and brightest" is needed to keep our democracy strong. That's why it's so important for the next generation to step up to the plate. But, according to re- search conducted by the Council for Excellence in Government, the relief bench looks empty. The federal workforce is facing an unprecedented crisis. By 2005, more than half of federal workers (some 900,000 employees) will be eligible for retirement. Many of them are senior managers, and as a result, we risk losing an enor- mous amount of practical knowl- edge and institutional memory. It's not just the government workforce that is in peril.
