Mayor's Table: Government Communications | Episode 142

Welcome to this episode of The Mayor’s Table!

In this episode of the Mayor’s Table, Mayor Nate Duckett sits down with Gina Intoppa, Integrated Marketing & Communications Manager for the City of Farmington, and Devin Neeley, Public Relations Manager for San Juan County. Together, they discuss the evolving world of government communications and the importance of transparency, accuracy, and trust. From social media to public meetings, the conversation covers how local agencies reach residents where they are — and why timely, reliable information matters more than ever.

They discuss the challenges of information overload, combating misinformation, and responding in real time to urgent events. Gina and Devin share insights into how their teams coordinate across jurisdictions, use multiple platforms — from Facebook to emergency alert systems — and balance proactive outreach with crisis communication.

Whether it’s road closures, community events, or emergency alerts, the goal is to make sure residents have the resources they need to stay informed and engaged. Mayor Duckett, Gina, and Devin emphasize that communication is a shared responsibility — government can provide information, but citizens must also seek it out.
