Meet the people behind the new TAMIO Teammates. Each teammate works in local government and is here to assist you in their area of expertise: Social Media, Website Design, Video Programming, Marketing and Graphic Design, or Media Relations. Teammates add conversation starters in the TAMIO Facebook Group and occasionally post to our TAMIO Thoughts blog.
