    The Strategy Team is back for another edition of Strategy Team Sessions! Filling the hot seats this week are Natalie Sosa, El Paso County's Deputy Director of Communications, and Marketing Communications Manager AmyJo Fields. This episode was recorded on March 18, 2024.
    These episodes are a joy for me because I get to speak with co-workers in a more casual environment than most other interviews. This time around, we cover how our roles impact emergencies, fairs, and media interviews.
    So kick back, relax, and enjoy the conversation! And as always, feel free to comment or reach out if you have any questions.
