From the Office of Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen:

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen invites the public and government officials to “save the date” to attend upcoming Department of Justice seminars on the public records and open meetings laws.

Online registration will begin at the Department of Justice website (http://www.doj.state.wi.us/) the first week of September. It’s recommended anyone who is interested in the free, three-hour seminars with assistant attorneys general register early because space will be limited.

The live programs will be held October 4th at Carroll University in Waukesha, and October 15th at the Fitchburg Public Library in Fitchburg, and a webinar is scheduled for October 17th. A webinar is an interactive audio-visual presentation viewed live over the Internet from the participant’s personal computer.

Registration information for the live programs and more information about how to connect to the webinar will follow as the program dates approach.
