The FOI Advisory Council staff is preparing once again to take its training routine on the road, with sessions in six cities in September.

Sept. 8 - Richlands
Sept. 9 - Roanoke
Sept. 10 - Harrisonburg
Sept. 11 - Alexandria
Sept. 16 - Richmond
Sept. 17 - Virginia Beach

As in past years, sessions will likely be held at local community colleges.

At the council's June 2 meeting, Executive Director Maria Everett said the sessions will strike a balance between basic education and more sophisitcated topics. This year, the session will also include a "hot topics" panel on issues such as e-mail and Social Security numbers.
