ST. LOUIS — GSA Field Office Director Patty Pelikan, who also serves as the St. Louis Federal Executive Board chair, delivered remarks Jan. 17 at the city’s 53rd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.

Pelikan delivered her remarks from the steps of the historic Old Courthouse where the Dred Scott case was heard.

The St. Louis FEB represents about 42,000 federal employees and military personnel in the St. Louis area, Eastern Missouri, Southern Illinois and Southwestern Kentucky.

Pelikan spoke about the commitment to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels in federal employment, programs, and service delivery to the public.

“It was a very powerful event,” she said.

The St. Louis District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also played a large role in facilitating and representing the federal community at the event, Pelikan said.
