GovDelivery, leading provider of cloud-based public sector communication solutions, announced today that the company is issuing a call for nominations for its Outreach & Impact Awards. Beginning today, public sector organizations across all levels of government can be nominated for innovation and outstanding achievement in digital communications. Designed to honor the best in digital communication in the public sector, the Outreach & Impact Awards recognize organizations using digital communications to drive public engagement and action, increasing mission value.

“Effective citizen engagement is playing an increasingly important role in achieving mission results for public sector organizations,” said Scott Burns, CEO at GovDelivery. “There are so many innovative public sector organizations already using digital technology to connect with more people and then leverage those connections to drive action and increase public engagement by delivering relevant messages where and when they are most effective. We hope those innovators will nominate themselves and each other so that the entire industry can benefit from understanding how these organizations are achieving program and mission success by reaching more people through digital communications.”

Nominees can submit digital marketing activities, including email, social, SMS text, voice or website sign-up best practices, for any one of the following Outreach & Impact awards:
