Nearly 750 Oklahomans attended one of five Open Meetings and Open Records seminars across the state this fall. Presented by the Office of Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond and the Oklahoma Press Association (OPA), the educational series brought essential knowledge about government transparency to Lawton, Woodward, Tulsa, McAlester and Oklahoma City.
Deputy General Counsel Thomas Schneider and OPA Executive Vice President Mark Thomas led the sessions, focusing on key statutes in the Oklahoma Constitution that ensure public access to government operations.
Drummond has made greater transparency in government a key priority since taking office almost two years ago.
