Hey, GovGirl. Love the videos. Got a question. The benefits of Linkedin seem to potentially cover a couple of departments - HR, PIO, IT. Where would you suggest the primary responsibility be? I take care of online communications(IT), the City's brand is with the PIOs, and of course, jobs are in HR. Thanks for your thoughts.
