The PIO Calendar continues to grow as a hub for public information officers. Today we’re introducing two new features designed to help communicators connect with professional organizations and discover trusted industry resources.
New: Associations & Organizations Directory
The new Associations & Organizations Directory highlights professional organizations that support public information officers, public affairs professionals, and communicators across government and public safety.
This directory makes it easier to discover:
- Professional associations
- Communications networks
- Public affairs organizations
- Groups supporting PIO training and collaboration
The goal is simple: make it easier for PIOs to connect with the broader professional community.

Inside the directory you’ll find:
- Podcasts covering crisis communication and public affairs

This growing library is designed to help communicators continue learning and stay connected to the broader communications profession.

Why We Built These
The PIO Calendar was created to help public information officers find training opportunities. As the platform grows, we’re expanding it into a broader professional resource hub for communicators.
Training is only one part of the profession.
Connection, community, and shared knowledge are just as important.
These new directories help bring those pieces together.
