About RAPIO

The Regional Association of Public Information Officers (RAPIO) was formed in 2000 to give area PIOs an opportunity to share information, work cooperatively on regional issues and network with their peers.

Members meet monthly (usually on the fourth Friday of each month) at the Mid-America Regional Council offices, 600 Broadway, Kansas City, Missouri. The informal meetings are held over box lunches, and may involve a speaker or presentation, or may be casual exchanges between members.

Meeting notices are e-mailed in advance of each meeting to those on the RAPIO listserv. All local government PIOs, and others who may serve in a public information capacity, in the metropolitan area are welcome to attend.
