This department develops, promotes and implements improved principles, standards, policies, procedures, services and systems governing the overall organization and workforce of the Authority, as well as managing the Authority's system for establishing internal agency-wide policies and procedures.

The Public Affairs department implements ongoing proactive media outreach programs designed to extend Las Vegas' leisure and business brands around the globe.
