"This team truly delivers and I’m extremely proud of the work they do,” said Communications and Outreach Director Jonathan Weaver. "From videos and podcasts to events to print and digital publications, we work hard to find diverse ways to connect with the community. It's especially great knowing that such a wide variety of initiatives, and each member of the department, received recognition this year.”
The awards were announced on April 10, 2025, during NC3C’s annual conference in Asheville. Nearly 180 award program entries from 47 different local government organizations were judged by professional communications peers from the Minnesota Association of Government Communicators.
The Communications and Outreach team uses digital platforms, multimedia storytelling and community-focused programming to set a standard for excellence in informing and engaging the community.
