[SWANboard] OMA and FOIA, SWAN Board Officers - Certificates

Hello SWAN Board, One thing that I wanted to bring to your attention is that we received info from KTJ (our attorney) that all SWAN Board Officers should have certification of completion of OMA and FOIA training, completed annually. Please see below for the notation received from KTJ. Are you guys already completing this annually for your libraries? I just need to keep copies of your certificates here at SWAN; if you could please bring me a copy next time you're in Burr Ridge, I'd very much appreciate it! "Designated OMA officers, including trustees designated as OMA officers, must annually complete OMA training. In fact, whenever a new OMA officer is designated, he or she must complete OMA training within 30 days after such designation and annually thereafter." "Like OMA officers, whenever a new FOIA officer is designated, he or she must complete FOIA training within 30 days after such designation and annually thereafter. Like OMA training, FOIA training is available, free of charge, on the Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Counselor's Office's website at the link mentioned above."
