The City of Brownwood Communications Department was honored to receive two awards from the Texas Association of Municipal Officers
The City of Brownwood was recognized at the annual Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMIO) conference held in San Antonio earlier this month. The City of Brownwood received two prestigious awards, competing against larger cities. The TAMIO awards celebrate exceptional communication by Texas communities in a wide range of categories including website, social media, video production and publications. Judging is conducted by non-TAMIO members with expertise in communications and municipal government.
The City of Brownwood was honored to receive the following awards:
- Award of Excellence – Best Social Media Post. Other finalists included the City of Bedford and the City of McAllen.
The City of Brownwood received this award for showcasing the atmosphere of Brownwood with the tagline “Feels Like Home”, while also inviting others to make this their home or a destination to visit. We wanted to instill a sense of pride for the residents when they watched the video.
- Award of Excellence – Best Report. Other Finalists included the City of Lewisville and the City of Prosper.
The City of Brownwood received this award for the Brownwood Municipal Development District’s Annual Report. The goal of this Report is to summarize the good work being done in Brownwood’s economic field throughout the year. It entails statistics for employment, tax revenue, new business activity, real estate, community partnerships, sports tourism, and more.
The Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMIO) was developed as a result of the increasingly complex role of public information in municipal government. When organized in 1974, only a handful of Texas cities employed professional communications staffs. Today, TAMIO has a growing number of public information / public relation specialists serving small communities as well as urban centers throughout the state.
TAMIO is an affiliate of the Texas Municipal League, which was organized in 1913 and currently represents some 98% of Texas’ urban population through its more than 1,150 member cities. Guided by its purpose statement—Empowering Texas cities to serve their citizens—the League helps city leaders meet the ever-changing challenges of governance.
