Community Relations
The City of Columbia Community Relations Department’s mission is to provide accurate, timely and reliable information for all citizens and media.
The Communications and Creative Services provides communication to citizens and City employees; produces monthly and yearly publications sent to citizens; maintains relationships with local media outlets: produces City Channel videos to support all City departments; broadcasts live meetings including City Council meetings; and manages conference room arrangements at City Hall.
The Contact Center is staffed with helpful customer service representatives, who are also Certified Tourism Ambassadors, who can answer your questions, take your requests or identify the City expert that can assist you.
Below is contact information for the department and each division as well as public information specialists or marketing specialists for City departments.
