ABOUT

The Utah Public Information Officer (PIO) Association is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization all about bringing together communicators from every corner of Utah to collaborate, learn, network, and mentor across the state. Whether you’re in local, state, or federal government, education, public safety, healthcare, or the private sector, there is a place for you in the Utah PIO Association. If you’re a current PIO or in a similar role, you’re invited to join our supportive community! Together, we grow through training opportunities, quarterly meetings, and association networking opportunities, and share insights and connect at our annual conference in St. George. Let’s learn, collaborate, and tackle the challenges of public communication as a team!
