Freedom of Information Act: What You Need to Know for Compliance and Protection

 

Are you aware that nearly every state-generated document, including your e-mail, is potentially viewable by the public? Citizens can request access to state documents via The Freedom of Information Act, which guarantees the right to see public records and documents. Learn the process for filing under FOI as well as your obligations. Among the topics we will discuss: the definitions of public records and meetings; how to manage requests for public records; rules governing executive sessions; how much access the public actually has; the status of e-mails and other electronic documents. This class offers a great opportunity to get all your questions answered.

The workshop will be conducted by Russell Blair, Director of Education and Communications at the Freedom of Information Commission.
