ASAP Educational Programs:
An Excellent Resource for Those Who Deal With the Freedom of Information & Privacy Acts
The ASAP Western Regional Training Conference (WRTC) has grown in tremendous popularity over the last 17 years. The format features sessions throughout to enable attendees flexibility in meeting their training and educational needs. It also accommodates smaller audiences at each particular session, facilitating the detailed discussion level for which the WRTC is best-known.
The American Society of Access Professionals (ASAP) is an independent, educational, nonprofit association founded by concerned federal government employees and private citizens working in information access fields primarily through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. ASAP was founded as a professional forum dedicated to bringing government FOIA and Privacy Act personnel in touch with the requester community. This requester community includes private citizens, law firms, businesses, media and nonprofit organizations, all who have a vested interest in the FOIA and Privacy Act. All ASAP programs draw upon the highest caliber of government FOIA and Privacy instructors and speakers together with known experts in the public requester field to teach and discuss common problems in an environment where each side voices its concern in open dialogue. Department of Justice attorneys and leading agency FOIA and Privacy Act personnel are always on the speakers and teaching platform. Both sides attain tremendous insight and education as each learns from the perspective of the other.
