2011 Sunshine Seminars

 

Register for a Sunshine Seminar Today!

 

Each year the First Amendment Foundation offers a series of one day training seminars. These Sunshine Seminars provide an overview of Florida’s public records and public meetings requirements in an informative and interactive format. The seminars are helpful for anyone who uses public records as well as for agency employees who are required to stay current on the law. Additionally, all attendees receive a Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual, which contains the most current public records and public meetings law information.

This year the League of Women Voters has graciously agreed to co-sponsor the series of seminars. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, has fought since 1920 to improve our systems of government and impact public policies through citizen education and advocacy. Members of The League of Women Voters will enjoy a special rate of $15 to attend the Sunshine Seminars.
