Osage County has used Green Country marketing Association as their social media manager, creating a expertly maintain campaign with tens of thousands of impressions each month, and nearly 17,000 followers on Facebook alone.  The annual contract is for $9,600 however, the Commissioners approved $10,800 including the hundred dollars per month for boost.


Following the approval of the social media contract, the Commissioners reviewed and renewed the contract with executive director Kelly Bland. The contract increased her monthly stipend for travel as well as her annual salary and included more hours so she may use that time to travel with major tour and bus agencies, along with tourism shows.
