The free flow of information is key to our democratic society. The challenge for everyone, especially our policymakers, is to balance the public's right to information with the individual's right to privacy.
If you are involved with the operation of a city, township, village, school district or municipality, you need to know the ins and outs of public records and open meeting laws. The goal of this seminar is to inform you of the laws and to provide you with relevant and practical information that will help you to better do your job.
The benefits will include enlightening public officials and recordkeepers of the factors considered by the media in pursuing open records claims and public meeting violations.
