Local government has a direct impact on each of us, every day. It's your city council, your county commission and your school board. It's your children climbing safely on the school bus, your local roads cleared of snow in winter and clean water coming out of your tap each morning.
It's your day-to-day quality of life.
Celebrate the value of these services with your employees and citizens during Local Government Week.
We encourage you to review the materials below and customize them to include your community's information. For example:
Add you city's name to the community press release.
Link to the video on your website, or embed directly onto your website. Consider adding the link to your facebook page.
Send the video to your local community broadcast channels. For a broadcast-quality copy, contact Laura Holloway at (573) 635-9134.
Place the banner ads on your own website, or use the images as a facebook post.
Incorporate recent examples of a successful project or partnership into the editorial or the shell press release.
Watch the individual testimonials for some great soundbites about the importance of local government. Place your favorites on your website, or send out through your social media channels.
Use the sample tweets if you have a city Twitter account, or encourage employees to use on their own accounts. The same tweets make great messages on facebook!
Use the Sample Proclamation to tailor for your city.
If we can assist with any questions about the materials or your local government week plans, please contact Laura Holloway at 573-635-9134.
