Communications
The Communications group is primarily focused on building and protecting GovStack’s brand. We want to ensure that our brand is represented externally in a way that reflects our credibility and expertise.
This includes: social media content; brand assets like graphics and slides; communication materials such as one-pagers, presentations, and videos; how we present ourselves at events; and anything that is published on our website.
GovStack Communications Key Objectives:
Position GovStack as the go-to resource for national digital transformation focused on digital public infrastructure
Expand our community of participants, contributors, and advocates who amplify our message and influence
