Communications & Culture

The Communications team films a media briefing featuring Mayor TenHaken at a podium delivering a speech, viewed through a Canon video camera set up in a room with wooden floors and an abstract circular painting on the wall.

We seek to answer: "What do residents need to know?"

For the Communications & Culture team, Sioux Falls residents are our primary audience. Our mission is to answer: “What do residents need and want to know?” The City has a lot going on and residents are busy. We get it.

That’s why we work with City departments to distill and distribute information about City programs, projects, and services through a range of communication channels. Through this work, we seek to connect, inform, and engage with the community of Sioux Falls.

We serve our fellow employees, too.

As a division of the Human Resources Department, we also lead communications for our fellow City employees. We communicate major changes to keep employees informed. Together with HR, we promote a healthy workplace culture and support employee recognition. We're proud to serve those who serve at the City.

We believe communication works best when it is a conversation.

The Communications team manages several social media channels. Follow us on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or YouTube to see what's happening at the City. You can also tune in to CityLink live, view upcoming meetings and events, or explore recent press releases.
