“We have made major changes to how we are providing services and trying to help people in need, and this team has gone above and beyond to let you know what we’re doing, why it’s happening, and how it’s going,” says Mayor Lester Miller. “They are consistently being recognized as the best in the country, and I’m proud of them and their work.”

“This team continues to come up with more creative ways to tell our story and make sure we are reaching the people who most need to hear from us,” says Chief Communications Officer Chris Floore. “They are setting a standard for local government communications because they truly understand how important this work is to help move our community forward together.”

3CMA is the nation's premiere network of local government communicators, founded in 1988 on the philosophy that communications and marketing are essential to helping governments engage and build stronger relationships with people. Effective public communicators are vital to local government success, linking people to the essential information they need to access services and be part of the democratic process. They play a key role in cultivating a shared vision for the community. The Savvy Awards have represented the best in government communications for more than 30 years.
