Open Records Boot Camp
Mar 24th, 2008 by JamieB
Beginning this Wednesday, March 26, Teri Henning, general counsel for the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, will lead a series of workshops around the state. The indefatigable Ms. Henning has set a schedule of two-a-days for herself that would exhaust both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers and makes the Nittany Lions’ spring practice schedule look like a few weeks at the beach . . . so please be sure to sign up. It will be well worth it.
The workshop is designed to help elected and appointed municipal and county officials gain a better understanding of how the Open Records Law has changed due to Act 3 of 2008 and what steps local government officials will need to take to be in compliance with the new law when it goes into effect Jan. 1, 2009. In addition to hearing from local government representatives, this is a great opportunity for editorial staff to listen to Teri Henning discuss how the new law will impact newspapers.
