Reporters, public officials and members of the public are invited to attend.

The “IDOG: Open Meetings in the Pandemic” seminar will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m MT on January 7, 2021. Wasden, Deputy Attorney General Brian Kane and IDOG President Betsy Russell will serve as panelists.

Together, Wasden and IDOG have conducted 49 open meeting and public records seminars across the state since 2004. The series – held in different parts of the state each year – was postponed in 2020 due to COVID-19. It is expected to resume in 2021 with in-person events in central and eastern Idaho.
