CITY OF MCCALL COMMUNICATIONS

Residents and visitors want effective, accurate, and timely information and ways to share thoughts and concerns with city employees, department leaders, and elected officials. The City of McCall Communications team helps to make that happen. The Communications team works with a variety of stakeholders to share city messages across various communication channels in digital and print. They also collect feedback and ideas from the community and take it back to city officials to create an inclusive and responsive local government.

The Communications Manager is an assistant to the City Manager and the liaison between the media and all city departments.
