We are saddened at the loss of eight community newspapers in Minnesota this month. Newspapers play a vital role in keeping the public informed about government actions and policies. As watchdogs of democracy, newspapers hold governments accountable and keep citizens empowered with knowledge. As government communicators, we stand in support of local newspapers. By collaborating with local journalists, we can support their work and keep our communities informed and engaged. https://lnkd.in/grQRz5C3 #SupportLocalJournalism #SupportLocalNews

Josh Hirsch, a favorite 3CMA Conference and webinar speaker, will deliver two 90-minute webinars designed to help you maximize AI’s responsiveness and creativity while also demonstrating how to use AI to understand data and correctly interpret feedback from your residents. Note: Having some experience using AI tools before the webinars is helpful. When you sign up, you are automatically registered for both webinars. Wednesday, April 24, 2 p.m. Eastern Time, 11 a.m. Pacific Time The Power of Prompting: Techniques to Transform AI Interactions This webinar will unlock the secrets of prompt engineering - creating language that describes the task you want AI to do in a way that delivers the outcomes you want and need. You’ll learn the art of crafting prompts that significantly enhance AI performance, ensuring more precise and relevant responses. It includes hands-on examples you can perform during the webinar to try it out for yourself. Wednesday, May 22, 2 p.m. Eastern Time, 11 a.m. Pacific Time Using AI to Understand Data and Sentiment Analysis Your community collects data - from resident surveys, event surveys, customer feedback, service requests, website analytics, and more.

It will also help you identify trends and insights. You’ll be introduced to methodologies and AI tools that can help you refine marketing strategies and resident engagement. The goal is to turn qualitative emotions into quantifiable data that enables you to make better decisions.

3CMA COMMCAST 041: Generation Gap If you’re new at the job, ever wonder what kind of wisdom can be gleaned from our more seasoned members. How about what the youngsters among us could teach those of us that actually once used a typewriter? This episode of Commcast bridges that generation gap with a great conversation between members on each end of that spectrum - Our millennial is Josh Gonzalez from the City of Kent WA, while our boomer is Ann Tennes, recently retired from the City of Skokie, IL. https://lnkd.in/ebvZh6id #3CMACommcast #WeGetGov
