Inside the Castle - People First Series - Ep. 157 Portland District’s Public Affairs Office on Being Responsibly Unhinged
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Mississippi Valley Division
March 19, 2025 | 40:42
Today’s episode is part of our “People First” series where we celebrate unity, empowerment and the Corps great asset, our people!
In this episode, the Inside the Castle team is joined by Chris Gaylord and Kerry Solan with the Portland District - the team behind one of the Corps’ most creative public affairs offices. Known for their humorous and engaging social media – including their famous cat and dog calendars – they’re redefining how the Corps connects with the public. We’ll dive into their creative process, the impact of humor in public communications, the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
