Continuing in our series of quarterly FOIA Requester Roundtable meetings, OIP will again be sponsoring meetings between the FOIA requester and agency communities throughout the coming year.  Hosted in connection with the Office of Government Information Services, these discussions will focus on various issues that surround the administration of the FOIA throughout the government, and provide an opportunity for the FOIA requester community to participate in the exchange of ideas, with the goal of increasing the understanding of the issues that all parties are faced with when working with the FOIA.

These meetings will take place on:

Fiscal Year 2013 Requester Roundtables
January 22, 2013, Topic – FOIA Libraries: Maximizing Usefulness from the Requester Standpoint
April 24, 2013
July 24, 2013

Additional information, including location, times, and topics for the April and July meetings will be announced here on FOIA Post prior to each meeting.

If you are interested in attending, please e-mail your name and phone number to OIP’s Training Officer, Bertina Adams at DOJ.OIP.FOIA@usdoj.gov.  As space for these meetings is limited, registration is required to attend, and remember that you will need a picture ID to enter the buildings for these meetings.  If you have any questions regarding these events, please contact Ms. Adams at (202) 514-1010.
