On Saturday, Feb. 24, the City of Lewisville is gearing up to celebrate "Government Communicators Day," a nationwide tribute to the pros shaping public dialog from behind the curtains. Lewisville's own Community Relations and Tourism Department will be in the limelight, receiving a proclamation from Mayor TJ Gilmore at the City Council meeting slated for Monday, Feb. 19, according to the City of Lewisville, Texas.
The folks responsible for keeping Lewisville's residents in the loop are your go-to team for city updates: managing social media, producing content for City Cable LVTV, and running multiple city websites, to name a few of their tasks. Scheduled by Mayor Gilmore, the proclamation on Monday will recognize the pivotal role these workers play, even though they are often overshadowed by more prominent city figures and events.
As Jennifer Bennerotte, Edina's Communications Director and 3CMA President made it clear, these communicators are crucial, stating, "As a public communicator, your impact is felt in various aspects of government operations. Whether it's spearheading public outreach and education campaigns during rate increase approvals, crafting media advisories for award ceremonies, or formulating strategic responses during crises, government communicators are the unsung heroes ensuring transparent and effective communication." Bennerotte's comments underscore the depth and breadth of these professionals' contributions, as noted by the City of Lewisville, Texas.
In alignment with the "Big Moves" outlined in the Lewisville 2025 vision plan, these communications experts do more than just relay information; they foster community engagement and work to transform Lewisville's future. The work done by the Community Relations and Tourism Department supports city initiatives across the board, a detailed vision that curious residents can access online at the city's official website.
