Open Meetings - Open Records Training - FREE to attend
A law adopted in the 2025 during the Iowa legislative session set a requirement for all new elected officials and those appointed to governmental bodies (at the city government level, common examples include library boards, planning and zoning commissions, boards of adjustments and more) to complete a training on the responsibilities and requirements for open meetings and open records laws. The training must be completed within 90 days of an official taking the oath of office or assuming the duties of their office.
Who Should attend?
Are you recently appointed to a board, commission, or 28E board? Newly elected official? Want to refresh your knowledge regarding open meetings and open records? This training is for you!
