The Cape May County Communications Director has developed a comprehensive and sophisticated county and community-wide information program that has transformed the relationship between its citizens and county government. By integrating a full range of mediums, it has become the most relied on source for information on county news activities as well as increased the awareness and use of county services, it has given citizens a clear understanding of the role of county government and has been integral in fostering public participation in the decision-making process. The program was composed of a website, radio advertisements and announcements, brochures and handouts, forums and conferences, and a monthly television show.
