Government & Community

Local Government

You have an important initiative. Now you need people to understand it, support it, and move it forward. Public projects, community initiatives, and major developments can involve multiple audiences like elected officials, employees, community groups, customers, and other stakeholders with different priorities and perspectives.

We help you navigate that complexity. Distinguished Communications works with leaders and organizations to communicate with greater clarity, and create the alignment needed to move forward. Our experience in government, nonprofit, and community leadership gives us a practical understanding of the environment, while our outside perspective helps you see opportunities and challenges more clearly.

"When I was the Director of Tourism, a State of Arizona Governor’s appointee, Distinguished Communications supported our team and me personally in so many ways. From strategic advising and executive coaching to communication development, we relied on them to bring out the best in individuals as well as the team cohesively. I would highly recommend Distinguished Communications to anyone in the tourism industry!"

"Deborah Ostreicher understands leadership because she has lived it. Having known her as a fellow city executive and having engaged her to work with my leadership teams over the years, I have seen how effectively she helps leaders navigate difficult conversations, build trust, and communicate with purpose. Her entire team’s practical experience and thoughtful coaching make Distinguished Communications an invaluable partner to government organizations."
