Those Who Should Attend include board members, management, and staff.  By attending the Wednesday board governance training sessions, board members will fulfill the statutory requirement to receive training on the open meetings law each year.  In addition, board members elected or appointed within the past year, and those who have never received this training, will fulfill the statutory requirement to receive the training prepared by the State Auditor's Office in conjunction with the UASD.  A representative from the State Auditors Office will be present to provide live training and to interact with attendees.  All district board members must receive this expanded training at least once during each term of office. 

The Wednesday training sessions have been structured to provide your district with expanded training opportunities for key employees, as well as board members and management.  Training sessions include sessions tailored to train and inform records officers on new and current issues..
