Local Focus

Editor's Note - Final Edition

The fourth quarter 2024 edition represents our final production of Local Focus as the LOC’s quarterly magazine. 

Earlier this year, the LOC partnered with consultant NP Strategies to conduct a comprehensive analysis of our current communications practices, and the feedback from our members indicated the strongest preference for content that was more concise and efficient, such as the weekly LOC Bulletin or social media posts.  As a result, a magazine, a more long-form delivery mechanism, was deemed less effective and no longer necessary.

We would like to thank the countless city officials who have contributed content to this publication over the years, as well as our many staff and contract writers.  A special thanks as well to our many Business Partners who have provided advertising support.

Moving forward, look for the LOC to provide you with news and information that you need in a timely fashion through our Friday Bulletin, our website, targeted emails, and our social media channels, including a more concentrated emphasis on LinkedIn as an effective channel. 

We look forward to hearing from you as we strive to meet your communications needs!
