National Association of Government Communicators

The principal purpose of the NAGC is to advance communications as an essential professional resource at every level of national, state, and local government. To achieve this purpose, the NAGC will seek to accomplish the following:
A. Unite persons engaged in creating and disseminating government-related information.
B. Establish and promote high standards of individual professionalism and public service.
C. Develop—among government leaders and managers, business, professional, academic,
and other groups—public awareness and understanding of the potentials, purposes, and
functions of professional communicators in fulfilling the public's right and need to be
informed about government activities at every level. Basic to this concept is support of
the professional communicator as an integral part of the decision-making process at all
levels of government.
D. Establish, promote, and sponsor opportunities for exchanging ideas and experiences
through public meetings, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, and formal courses of instruction.
E. Improve communication within government, and between government and the public.
F. Sponsor achievement awards to recognize professionalism among government
communicators and to further the public's knowledge of government.
