Communications and External Affairs

Overview

The Communications and External Affairs (CEA) section serves as the public information and public relations arm of ADECA. It is the principal contact for the news media, and the division prepares and distributes news releases about grants and other ADECA activities.

The section coordinates printing and publications for the department and provides graphic arts services for the other divisions of ADECA. The department’s website and social media accounts are managed by the section.

As legislative liaison for the department, it monitors all state legislation for potential impact on ADECA and its programs. In coordination with the Governor’s staff and the ADECA Director, the section communicates the department’s position on legislative issues to members of the Alabama Legislature and the U.S. Congress. It also serves as liaison between the state of Alabama and the U.S. Census Bureau.
