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:

The goal is simple: make it easier for PIOs to connect with the broader professional community.

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.
