This "nuts & bolts" program is a series of one-day seminars on the FOIA and PA. The first day serves as an entry level program or refresher course, covering comprehensive overviews of each Act. The second and third days are designed to cover more advanced topics. The series is usually held in the Washington, D.C. area in late spring or summer.
This program was created to bring educational opportunities beyond the Washington, D.C. area. The program combines "nuts & bolts" type training topics with the thought-provoking and practical issues associated with FOIA and Privacy Act processing and requesting. A special feature of the program is concurrent breakout sessions for individual agencies, thereby giving personnel a unique opportunity for Questions & Answers as they pertain to their own agency policies. The program is usually two or three days depending upon the venue. The venue is rotated throughout the nation with the program typically held the first week in March.
ASAP sponsors three to four luncheon seminars each year highlighting a specific FOI, or Privacy, topic or issue. Speakers and topics vary according to interest levels and have included high profile members of the judicial branch, congressional staffers, journalists, new or proposed regulations, web page content, appeal processes, etc. The program is designed to attract 20-50 people in an informal setting, conducive to questions and answers.
