I want to know e-mail, ListServ, web bulletin boards, and/or 
telephone/address contacts of non-county Government (school boards, 
municipalities, etc.) AND Businesses or Corporations which might be 
interested in participating in or learning about a "Competition of 
Excellence" in an organization which promotes more effective 
communication between counties and citizens. (NACo/NACIO). This 
organization promotes public understanding of the functions of county 
government, promotes better understanding between the public and its 
elected officials, and strives to improve the professional 
capabilities of its members.  Entry categories include 1)annual 
reports 2)brochures 3)internal publications (published regularly) 
4)writing 5)graphic design 6)photography 7)audio visual productions 
8)special projects i.e. ceremonies, community events, citizen 
education projects, public participation projects, media relations.  
Each category has several subcategories. Assumptions: We already know 
about all the links on www.Naco.org and affiliate www.nacio.org and 
their listservs.  We are looking for listServs and web bulletin boards 
and other concise tools to inform the other(not county or state 
association of counties) types(non-county government and business or 
corporations) which have Public Information Officers. 

*Must be several ListServs or web bulletin boards which reach a large audience
 
I would also like to know how you found the information.
If my list price is not perceived as fair, please comment with a suggestion. 
This question was already posted once (no responses) but in the wrong category.

Inquiring:

All researchers see all questions, so it wasn't because the category
was wrong that you didn't get a response.  Rather, assembling lists is
a very painstaking process and presents several problems:
-- do I stop at 10?  50?  100?
-- were my criteria correct or incorrect?

You've also asked for those reaching a "large" audience.  Is a
gathering of 500 PIOs large?  Or small?

There are some $200 questions here seeking lists of people meeting
certain criteria that are unanswered.

Best regards,

The State and Local Government website at
http://www.statelocalgov.net/index.cfm lists the following national
organizations of local and state officials.  Some (all?) of these may
be worth contacting about your awards program...I'm sure most of them
have extensive distribution lists.  The site lists many other relevant
organizations as well, so it may be worth a look.
