Our Purpose
The City of Amarillo is committed to open, transparent government operations and to providing accurate and timely information to the public. The City strives to do so by maximizing communication channels and fostering constructive relationships between the public and City officials and employees.
The Office of Engagement & Innovation (OE&I) is responsible for marketing the City’s services and programs in creative and innovative ways that appeal to the needs of its citizens, making it easy for everyone to be informed, involved, and up-to-date on the work of our City government.
In addition to communicating with the general public and business community, the The Office of Engagement & Innovation serves as the initial City contact liaison for all media inquiries, along with select public or community resident inquiries, questions, and concerns about City issues, operations, programs, and services.
The Amarillo Police and Fire departments have separate Public Information Officers that serve in a similar capacity.
Media Relations
Maintaining proactive, productive relationships with the news media is a key component to realizing the City's communication goals.
For all non-public safety media inquires, please contact Dave Henry, Communications Manager by phone at 806-378-5219 or by email at david.henry@amarillo.gov.
