3CMA

The City-County Communications & Marketing Association is the nation’s premiere network of local government communicators. The organization was founded in 1988 on the philosophy that communications and marketing are essential to helping governments engage and build stronger relationships with their residents. Effective public communicators are vital to local government success, linking residents 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. Connect 3CMA is all about making the connections you need. From national speakers, to innovative ideas and proven outcomes, to ways to use new technology, you’ll have the opportunity to connect and learn with nearly 1,000 of your peers. Webinars bring the value of membership directly to your office with online learning sessions where you can hear from and engage with communication leaders and experts. Regional conferences throughout the year allow a focus on regional issues and trends, with significant input from local members. The Members Only Section of the 3CMA website hosts a Resource Center with member examples of everything from Communication Plans to Social Media Policies to Managing the One-Person Shop to Requests for Proposals. And when you need one-on-one advice, the 3CMA staff is there to provide counsel and direct you to helpful resources. The hallmark connection opportunity is 3CMA’s Annual Conference, proclaimed by members as one of the greatest benefits of membership.
