The Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) is hosting an event to celebrate National Whistleblower Appreciation Day on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, at the Intelligence Community Campus Bethesda (ICC-B). National Whistleblower Appreciation Day celebrates America’s first whistleblower law, passed unanimously by the Continental Congress on July 30, 1778, and acknowledges the contributions of whistleblowers in combating waste, fraud, abuse, and violations of laws and regulations of the United States. The United States Senate passed a resolution designating July 30th as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day. National Whistleblower Appreciation Day seeks to inform employees, contractors working on behalf of the United States taxpayers, and members of the public about the legal right of a U.S. citizen to “blow the whistle” to the appropriate authority by honest and good faith reporting of misconduct, fraud, or abuse.
