About MAGC | Minnesota Association of Government Communicators

The Minnesota Association of Government Communicators is a peer organization of professionals who are dedicated to improving public-sector communications.

We organize thought-provoking workshops, an annual conference and various other activities to improve our communications skills and to strengthen our peer networks. We share our best work through our annual Northern Lights Awards Contest, and we celebrate our accomplishments and learn from each other's successes at the annual Northern Lights Awards Ceremony.

Our members represent all levels of government--federal, state, regional, county, and local--as well as school districts, universities and colleges, nonprofits and agencies serving these organizations.

MAGC welcomes all who have an interest in government communications to take part in the organization.

Mission

MAGC creates connections, engaging professional development opportunities and a community for its members working in government communications so we can better serve the public and our communities in an ever-evolving world.

Vision

We provide members the best value possible through:

Recognizing successful and impactful public communication
Providing professional development and opportunities to learn
Fostering meaningful connections and networking events

Organizational Structure

As a nonprofit, MAGC is sustained with annual dues from its members and member agencies. Each year, members elect a volunteer executive board and president. The board develops annual programs and special events and manages the organization's financial affairs and organizational policies.

Most MAGC activities are financially self-sustaining. All MAGC resources are used to advance its purpose of promoting effective government communications.
