Records 101: An intro to public records, records management and open meetings

Join three experts Feb. 22 for a virtual presentation on the basics of fulfilling legal and policy requirements for open government as they apply to records and meetings.

The speakers will address questions such as:

  • What qualifies as a record?
  • When and how do you have to post public announcements of your meeting?
  • What happens when a member of the public files a request for your records?
  • How do you find out how long you have to keep your records?

Presenting will be Colleen Ference-Burke, UWM public records custodian; Derek Webb, records officer; and Jennifer Herzog, university legal counsel.

The presentation will take place via Teams on Wednesday, Feb. 22, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. There will be ample time for questions, and the session will be recorded for those who want to view it afterward.
