Additionally, this team is responsible for creating engagement opportunities through events like the annual Realtor Breakfast, My Mansfield Muni-Versity and the Mansfield Volunteer Program

The first calendar quarter of 2023 continued to be busy months for the Communications & Outreach (C&O) team. C&O was particularly excited to be part of producing the first community-wide State of the City. This event invited all residents to participate in an evening to hear about the accomplishments from 2022 and initiatives for 2023.

Additionally, this event brought all of our city departments as part of the City Services to Go program, providing an engagement opportunity to ask questions and garner information in a one-stop shop format. While this was a free event, the event reached maximum occupancy with 400 registered attendees. In order to accommodate those unable to attend, the event was recorded and is available to view via MansfieldTexas.gov.

This past quarter garnered quite a bit of media attention with the groundbreaking for H-E-B and the announcement of the Super Studios project. These are exciting and C&O was there to coordinate media interviews and help share the news with the community.

C&O remained open during the January/February winter storm that required consistent communication with the community regarding city offices, city services, warming shelters, safety PSAs, trash service updates, and more.
