Maintaining openness in government is a key responsibility for elected and appointed city officials. It is critical that city and county attorneys, along with elected and appointed officials, have a working knowledge of both the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) and Kansas Open Records Act (KORA). This workshop provides an in-depth legal analysis of both. 

During the KOMA portion of the training, attendees will learn about:

• Types of governmental bodies and meetings covered by KOMA;
• Requirements of the Act;
• Serial meetings; and
  
• Executive sessions.

The KORA section of the training will focus on:

• Requirements of the Act;
• Policies and procedures all cities should establish;
  
• KORA exemptions.

Cost to attend this course is $145 for members and $170 for nonmembers. All participants receive the most up-to-date KORA and KOMA manuals (a $120 value). Please register by Thursday, August 21, 2025 to ensure you receive your manuals in time. 

This course has been approved for 0.75 CMC/MMC credit and three hours of CLE credit.
