The Attorney General's Office holds regional workshops each year. The educational forum is Oct. 24 at North Shore Community College.
Do you need to brush up on Massachusetts' Open Meeting Law or just want to learn more about it as a member of the public?
The Attorney General's Office is conducting annual regional workshops for municipal officials and employees, members of any public bodies and the general public is invited to attend as well.
A workshop will be held in Danvers at the Health Professions and Student Services Building at North Shore Community College on Oct. 24 from 6-8 p.m. NSCC is located at 1 Ferncroft Rd.
The workshop is free, but if you're planning to attend, register first by calling 617-963-2925 or email omltraining@state.ma.us with your name, city or town of residence, the public body or organization you represent (if applicable) and which location you will attend.
Prior to 2010, the Open Meeting Law was enforced at the local level by each district attorney's office, but in an effort to reform and maintain consistency in the law, the state legislature repealed the existing statutes and replaced them with a single state law enforced by the Attorney General's Office.
