Bentonville College To Host FOIA Road Show

BENTONVILLE — NorthWest Arkansas Community College will host one of five statewide FOIA Road Shows this fall in conjunction with the Arkansas attorney general’s office.

The road show at the college is 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sept. 27 in the Walmart Auditorium at the Shewmaker Center for Workforce Technologies in Bentonville.

The workshops are designed to provide assistance to public officials who handle Freedom of Information Act matters, as well as to any Arkansan who wishes to learn more about the law, according to the attorney general’s website.

Participants hear presentations from FOIA experts from the attorney general’s office about the law’s applicability and its exemptions. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about specific parts of the law. A panel of journalists and attorneys familiar with the act will discuss practical experiences with the law, according to a college news release.

Attorney general’s FOIA Road Shows are free and open to the public. Registration is required. To register, email [email protected] or call 501-374-1500.
