City Communications & Marketing Department Wins TAMIO Marketing Award

The Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers, or TAMIO, gave the City of Lubbock's Communications & Marketing Department an Award of Honor at its recent annual conference in Houston.  

TAMIO, an affiliate of the Texas Municipal League, recognizes and champions the increasingly complex roles of professional communicators in municipal government and their achievements in communicating with citizens.

The City's Communications & Marketing Department won the Award of Honor for best use of a marketing promotional item for its COVID Smart Kits. The kits were distributed to local elementary schools last fall and each contained: hand santizer, a bracelet, a pencil, a pin, an eraser and a mask to remind younger school-aged children of ways to stay healthy since they were not yet eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. 

This is the third consecutive year the Communications & Marketing Department has been recognized by TAMIO:
