St. Cloud adds Andrew Sullivan to PIO team

The City of St. Cloud has hired Andrew Sullivan as Senior Public Information Manager, effective this week.

The new position within the City’s Communications department will help keep residents and business owners better informed on matters of safety. A Public Information Officer (PIO) is responsible for the regular dissemination of information to the public and to the media.

Sullivan, who is a FEMA-accredited Master Public Information Officer and FAA-licensed drone pilot, will support the St. Cloud Police Department, St. Cloud Fire Rescue, and the City’s Emergency Management efforts. Sullivan previously served as the PIO for Osceola County Fire Rescue & EMS and the Osceola County Office of Emergency Management. Prior to that, he served that role for Osceola County, and was Chief Photographer for the Osceola News-Gazette.

“We are excited Andrew is joining our team,” said Communications Director Maryemma Bachelder. “He brings a skillset that will be an asset to our residents and business owners as we communicate about what’s happening in the city. His experience, training and inherent skills make him a strong addition to the team and will help us further improve the way we tell our story.”
