ATLANTA – Today, Georgia House of Representatives Media Services Director Betsy Theroux was confirmed as Vice-chair for the Legislative Information and Communications Staff (LINCS) professional development association.
A program of the National Conference of State Legislatures, LINCS is a network of legislative employees that promote improved and effective communications between public information and communications staff and their legislatures, staff and constituents.
