Workshops Roanoke

On April 27, 2011, the Virginia Coalition for Open Government will host two seminars in Roanoke.

The first, from 9:30 to 12:00, is a FOIA workshop geared primarily toward citizens, bloggers and journalists, but will also be helpful for government employees. You'll learn the basics of making FOIA requests and learn tips and strategies from citizens, reporters and government about the best way to get the information you're seeking.

The second, from 1:30 to 4:00, is a records-management seminar geared primarily toward government employees in charge of managing records and/or filling FOIA requests. You'll learn tips from fellow public servants about how to make your records more accessible, thus making it easier and less time consuming to fill FOIA requests.

To register by credit card, fill out the information below. To register by check, please download these registration forms: FOIA workshop | Records-management seminar.

Both sessions take place at the Barton W. Morris Conference Room at the Roanoke Times
