Mayor Todd Barton announced the addition of Abigail Campbell as the city’s new communications director. Campbell started the new role earlier this week.
“This is a new position that we are excited to have filled with a communications specialist that is dedicated to furthering the City of Crawfordsville’s story and milestones,” Barton said. “Abigail has experience in both the private and government communication sectors and I think she will make a great addition to our team.”
Campbell graduated from Indiana University where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in journalism and public relations. Most recently, Campbell served as the communications director for the Indiana Builders Association where she represented almost 3,000 home builders throughout the state. Additionally, Campbell has served as a press secretary for the Indiana House of Representatives where she managed external press for representatives in southeastern Indiana.
“I am looking forward to taking on this new opportunity and working with Mayor Barton and his team to showcase all the wonderful things Crawfordsville has to offer,” Campbell said. “I hope my past experiences will prove to be an asset and help the city realize new communication avenues.”
As communications director, Campbell will provide outreach and timely information to the community and the news media concerning city services, policies, major projects and community events.
Campbell graduated from Fountain Central High School and currently lives in Crawfordsville.
