Accessing Public Records with Jessica Huseman of the Friendly State News

She teaches a course on government transparency at American University School of Public Policy, and data journalism at St. Bonaventure University.
PLEASE NOTE: We are able to present this event for free due to a generous grant from the New York State Consortium for Worker Education (CWE). As part of this grant, WGAE needs to provide the CWE with information on who attends the events they fund. This information is necessary for the CWE to continue to receive their state funding – and, in turn, for them to continue to provide support for programs like the one you are attending.
Completion of an intake form from the CWE is required for participation in this program. The link to the form will be provided to you in your confirmation email, and the form must be submitted prior to the event in order for you to attend; if you do not complete the form prior to the event, your registration may be cancelled
