John Lewis, Mayor of Gilbert, Arizona, to join host Jill Schiefelbein on “Communication Nation”



John Lewis, Mayor of Gilbert, Arizona, to appear on Communication Nation talk radio and discuss Digital Government with Jill Schiefelbein on VoiceAmerica’s Radio Network.
 
 Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that Gilbert, Arizona Mayor, John Lewis will join Jill Schiefelbein, host of Communication Nation talk radio on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel http://www.voiceamerica.com/channel/247/voiceamerica-busi... Tuesday, May 14,  at 8 a.m. Pacific Time.

Mayor John Lewis was elected in May 2009 and has lead the Town of Gilbert ever since.  Under his leadership, Gilbert’s population has continued to steadily increase and the Town has received heightened national attention.   With a population of nearly 225,000, the town of Gilbert boasts the recent honors of the 5th safest community in the nation (according to Business Insider) and the 36th best place to live in the nation (Money Magazine). Mayor Lewis brings 30 years of private sector business experience into running the Town.  Aside from his mayoral duties, he currently teaches as an adjunct faculty member in the business department at Mesa Community College.

Gilbert, Arizona is positioning itself to become a national leader in Digital Government. By unlocking public records, maximizing social media outreach and utilizing high-quality, dynamic video story-telling, the Gilbert Digital team is connecting with residents, staff and visitors by providing them with tools to become more involved in their community and assist with their daily lives.

Modeled after New York City, Gilbert’s digital initiatives are focused on communication, technology, transparency and collaborative community development.  The Digital Communications department was created exactly one year ago with the hiring of the Town’s first Chief Digital Officer.  This year, the office created and premiered the first-ever Digital State of the Town, a 22-minute documentary produced entirely in-house.  This allowed people from Gilbert, across Arizona and around the country to view the address from their home, desktop, or even their phones, without having to attend an event.  You can watch the video at the Town’s website (http://www.gilbertaz.gov/stateofthetown/).
