A Helping Hand – PIOs on Mutual Aid
In November PIOs from across the state joined Butte County PIOs in the aftermath of the devastating #CampFire. PIOs from across California came to support. From the JIC we share stories from Paul Hosley from West Sacramento along with Adriane Mertens and Misti Harris from Santa Rosa who knew firsthand how the community and their fellow PIOs were feeling in the midst of the disaster and the recovery. Additionally, we share a story from Brandon Vaccaro who assists CAL FIRE Incident Management Teams on large-scale incidents.

We Heart CAPIO
You are CAPIO. We are CAPIO. And, together, we are a mighty group of government communicators charged with working on behalf of our public to inform, educate and engage.
We are 500 strong and growing, and we thank you for supporting the California Association of Public Information Officials.
February is membership month. Not only do we want to celebrate the hundreds of men and women that make up this great association, but also want people to know who we are, too. Recruit a colleague or another government communicator to join this organization!
We Are CAPIO – now 500 strong and growing!
This week CAPIO celebrated a milestone as our 500th member just rolled in! In just five short years, CAPIO’s membership has tripled in size. This is testimony to an increased demand for well-trained professional government communicators and CAPIO’s relevance in providing an avenue for professionals to learn, grow and thrive in this dynamic field.
CAPIO’s growing membership enables us to continue expanding our educational, professional development and accreditation programs to our members.
