Monday, March 1, 2010   Krueper Building Board Meeting.
Saturday, March 13, 2010 TBA TBA Forum on Redevelopment. San Bernardino has many redevelopment zones. Where are we in terms of activity in each area? What has been accomplished? What are the plans for the future?
Friday, March 19, 2010 8:30 am - 11 am TBA Open the Government.org Sunshine Week Webinar. On his first full day in office, President Obama committed his Administration "to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government." To help meet that goal, the Administration has issued an Open Government Directive and a new Memorandum on Freedom of Information Act and Attorney General Guidelines. The Administration has also launched an expansive effort to open up data to developers, advocates, and the public via Data.gov. Join us for this three panel event to hear our panelists -- transparency experts from inside and outside government-- discuss these initiatives and their effect on the public. Panelists will also take questions from the live and viewing audience.

The first panel, featuring Norm Eisen, Special Counsel to the President for Ethics and Government Reform, will focus on the White House's efforts to imbed transparency in the system by, in part, requiring each agency to develop an open government plan, and post open government pages.

During the second panel, our panelists, including Miriam Nisbet, Director of the new Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), will discuss how recent changes to law and policy effect a citizen's ability to request and receive information from the federal government.

During the last panel, developers and advocates will explain how they use government information like the data on Data.gov to make a difference for the public. Confirmed panelists include Robert Rosenthal, Executive Director of the Center for Investigative Reporting, and Eric Gundersen, President and co-founder of Development Seed.

Saturday, May 8, 2010     Annual Meeting. Review the progress we made in the last year and discuss the agenda for the next!
