Communications Representative (Cindy Snyder) and Communications Director (Liz Boyd) managed Governor Granholm's public image as the main staffers in the Communications Division. The Communications Division series documents Granholm's public activities and contains audio-visual materials, newspaper clippings, and the text of Granholm's speeches. The series contains three subseries: the Staff Files (Cindy Snyder), Director's Files (Liz Boyd), and General Office Records.
The Staff Files (Cindy Snyder) consist of video messages recorded by the governor and sent to various groups in lieu of attending their events. These files are arranged chronologically at the item-level; many of the videos are also available online.
The Director's Files (Liz Boyd) subseries contains newspaper clippings, speeches, transcripts for radio addresses, and audio-visual materials (photographs, sound recordings, and videos). Many of the audio-visual materials are available online, including Granholm's State of the State speeches for 2007-2010.
