Director of Public Information for Loudoun County to Leave Position – Loudoun News
Jim Barnes, Director of Public Information for Loudoun County, announced today that he will leave his position at the end of October, after nearly 22 years of service with the county.
“When I first came to Loudoun County, I never dreamed that I would be in this position for 22 years,” he said. “I have been honored to serve the people of Loudoun County, but now it’s time for me to take on a new challenge.” He said that while he is exploring new opportunities, he will do consulting work for the City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA). He has served on 3CMA’s Board of Directors since 1997 and as its president in 2003-2004.
Barnes joined the Loudoun County government in January 1989 when he was hired as the county’s first Public Information Officer, with responsibilities including media relations and production of a quarterly county newsletter. Over the years, his responsibilities have grown to include the production of publications such as the county’s annual report and Guide to Services, social media, cable television programming, administration of the county’s cable television franchises, Freedom of Information Act requests, and community outreach programs such as Volunteer Loudoun and Leadership Loudoun.
