The city of Vernon has a new communications officer. Courtenay Pitcher started the position in mid-December, and will
handle media relations, maintaining the city website, and helping apply
for government grants. She says her other duties include "Developing a communications plan
in the future, seeing if the mayor and council are interested in rolling
out social media and new communications strategy." Pitcher says says one of her goals is to make sure the public gets a broad, balanced perspective on city issues. "So that the public is getting many different angles, and perhaps
improving some of the perception out there about how we are
communicating." Pitcher comes to the city after owning a marketing and communications company for 12 years. She also has a degree in tourism and leisure. "But I gained a lot of valuable experience volunteering as president
of Vernon Women In Business and chairperson of the Woman of the Year
event." The city position has been vacant since last year when Liz Williams retired.
