Historical NoteReturn to Top
Central's Public Relations and Marketing Office began as part of the Office of Public Service in 1938. In 1946 the office was restructured and named the Publications Office. It was placed under the Director of Auxiliary Services in 1962, where it developed into the Division of Advertising and Publications in 1981 and later the Division of Productions in 1991. The Office of Auxiliary Services was dissolved in 1997, creating the Office of Publications and Advertising and the Office of Graphics Productions. In 2001, the Office of Publications and Advertising was renamed the Public Relations and Marketing Office.
