The Virginia Coalition for Open Government  

FOI Awards Nomination

Do you know someone who works hard to keep Virginia state or local government open and accountable? Have you read an article, seen a television show or heard a radio program that helped you understand the importance of government records and meetings? Has someone in local or state government demonstrated a real commitment to citizen access to government information?

Are YOU a FOIA hero?

The Virginia Coalition for Open Government is seeking nominations for its annual Freedom of Information Awards. The awards are given in three categories: citizen, media, and government. They are based upon the nominee's outstanding efforts in using government records and meetings to keep government open and accountable to the people.

The Coalition's citizen award, the Laurence E. Richardson award, is named for veteran Charlottesville broadcaster Laurence Richardson (1920-1999).
