2.5: Meetings

Meet on a quarterly basis with a selection of FOIA professionals from within the Department.

Other Information:

Meeting with FOIA Officials. As Attorney General Holder stated in his FOIA Guidelines, FOIA is everyone’s responsibility, from agency leadership to the FOIA professionals who are working day in and day out to fulfill FOIA requests. Although each of them plays a different role in making government more open, it is important to have their lines of communication open. Those on the front lines of the FOIA process need to hear from Department leadership regarding the President’s and Attorney General’s FOIA priorities, and Department leadership needs to hear from the professionals about what can be done to improve agency performance. On a quarterly basis, the Department’s Chief FOIA Officer will meet with a selection of FOIA professionals from within the Department, to provide a forum for these discussions.
