Effectively Managing the DC Freedom of Information Act (DC FOIA) Process

On May 20, 2025, the Office of Open Government (OOG) presented “Effectively Managing the DC Freedom of Information Act (DC FOIA) Process” training to DC FOIA Officers, facilitated by OOG’s Attorney Advisor Joan Lelma.  The training introduced DC FOIA and covered how to do the following: respond to FOIA requests; conduct searches for records; produce records; and prepare decision letters.  

The PowerPoint presentation has been converted to a PDF document and is accessible below, and the recording will soon be available on OOG’s YouTube page.
