Michael Coveyou, regulatory assistance coordinator with the Iowa Department
of Public Safety, has been named the 2007 Dwight Ink Public Service Award
Winner at Iowa State University.
Iowa State's Public Policy and Administration Program presented Coveyou
the award at a ceremony held Friday, May 4, on campus.
Coveyou has worked at the Iowa Department of Public Safety since 1979,
beginning as the department's statistician. For 11 years he served as
the department's spokesman regarding crime statistics and trends.
Today the core of Cuveyou's duties is responsibility for all of the department's
administrative rulemaking. He also serves as a point of contact for individuals
and organizations that are trying to establish their responsibilities
for compliance with the department's rules. He is also a liaison with
other regulatory agencies to assist people in negotiating the complexities
of identifying and compliance with regulatory requirements across state
agencies.
The Dwight Ink Public Service Award honors Dwight Ink, an Iowa State alumnus
who served every U.S. president from Eisenhower through Reagan. Throughout
his public service, Ink had responsibilities for organizing past federal
departments and agencies.
The award is given to a public manager in Iowa who exemplifies the highest
standards of dedication to public service and are characterized by their
leadership abilities, their passion for their work, their high professional
standards and the respect they are given by their peers.
