Greetings, November 16, 2023, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM: The Open Meetings Act (OMA) Refresher Who can speak during a public meeting? Who sets the agenda? Is a committee under the OMA? The Open Meetings Act is an integral part of a public library's governance, but it is also confusing and full of nuance. This session will provide a refresher on the OMA , and also discuss some amendments that are (hopefully) on the way!
