Moderator - Stacy Beard
Public Information Officer
Town of Clayton
Often seen around Town armed with both a still camera, a video camera AND an iPad, Public Information Officer Stacy Beard is charged with keeping the public informed about all that’s going on (and there’s a LOT going on these days!). She joined our staff in the Fall of 2012 and is the Town’s first-ever PIO. She manages the Town’s new user-friendly website, all social media outlets, media requests/relations, and writes and produces content for the Town’s 24-hour public access channel, Town of Clayton TV. Stacy enjoys telling Clayton’s story and engaging the public because it’s an extension of her former life as a TV reporter. She spent 15 years reporting for network affiliates from the wilds of Montana to most recently at WRAL-TV in Raleigh. In fact, it was several months into her job here in Clayton that Stacy learned she had won a prestigious Edward R. Murrow award for her reporting. Stacy escaped TV to spend more time with her husband Cory, son Spencer, and Labrador Wrigley who loves walking Clayton’s greenways every weekend!
