U.S. Department of State Commemorates 100th Anniversary of Rogers Act [ https://www.state.gov/u-s-department-of-state-commemorates-100th-anniversary-of-rogers-act/ ] 05/01/2024 02:27 PM EDT
Office of the Spokesperson
On May 24, 1924, the Rogers Act, which established a professional U.S. Foreign Service, was signed into law.  The Rogers Act created the Foreign Service as we know it today.
The 100th anniversary of the Rogers Act marks a pivotal moment in history that modernized U.S. diplomacy by establishing a merit-based personnel system that cultivated a service ethos, expertise, and creativity in the conduct of foreign affairs.
Representative John Jacob Rogers, who led the congressional campaign toward a fully professional and democratic Foreign Service, asked Congress to strive for a Service that would be flexible, attract and retain America’s finest, and offer reasonable pay and prospects for promotion.
