Dec 16 2025
Expired!
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Virtual Workshop

Originally scheduled for October 9, 2025, the annual DGI FOIA virtual workshop was impacted by the government shutdown, preventing government speakers from participating. With the government now reopened, we are pleased to announce the two government speakers will join us on December 16, 2025 to share their insights and expertise.

This workshop will delve into the future of transparency by exploring records management role in FOIA, emerging technologies, and practical strategies shaping the FOIA landscape. The one-hour complimentary program is designed to provide attendees with valuable perspectives from experienced FOIA leaders who will share their successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
