ABOUT INTEGRITY ICON PHILADELPHIA: Integrity Icon 2022 is The Philadelphia Citizen’s second annual contest to name the non-elected city employees who have demonstrated the highest ethics and integrity in their work. In partnership with Accountability Lab—which has run Integrity Icon competitions throughout the world since 2012—The Citizen has made Philadelphia the first and only American city to participate in the program. After a citywide nominating process in fall of 2021, a panel of civic leaders selected five workers who best embodied the simple but powerful criteria: A high-integrity public service employee is respectful and caring; knows their work makes a difference to people’s lives; acts in a trustworthy and transparent way to solve problems the best they can; treats everyone equally, without regard to politics or influence; and goes above and beyond to provide good service to Philadelphians.
