Morrill, Martin Named Top Government Influencers

Roanoke, VA – Roanoke City Manager Chris Morrill and Communications and Media Coordinator Timothy Martin were recently included in a list of Top 100 Influencers in Government by Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL).

Morrill ranked 32nd on the list, while Martin ranked 100th. Roanoke is one of only two cities in the country to have more than one representative listed.

In announcing the list online, ELGL wrote: “Our top 100 is not based on title or longevity. It’s based on the influence that an individual is having in their community and outside their community through professional associations, publications, and presentations,”

ELGL praised Morrill for his leadership and passion for Roanoke, citing the Deschutes Brewery announcement as a recent accomplishment. Martin was recognized for making Roanoke a leader in social media.
