BGA Citizen Watchdog Training

BGA Citizen Watchdog Training teaches you how to keep an eye on government and report on what's happening in your community. We bring in experts to teach you about the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act and to give you the tools you need to become a responsibly engaged citizen.

This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited! Please RSVP to Barb Macholz, the BGA's Community Outreach Coorindator, at bmacholz@bettergov.org or 312-821-9025.
