Social Media and Open Government Legal and Policy Training Workshop
Understanding technology, policy and legal Issues around Social Media and Open Government
A workshop focused on discussing and explaining social media and open government legal and policy issues for
Legal Counsel, Ethics, Privacy Officers and Policy Analysts .
Legal counsel, privacy and ethics officers are faced with complex,
cross-functional issues when providing opinions and input on social
media and open government policies and initiatives. The nexus
of technology and public interaction through social media and open
government efforts challenges the best advisors to find ways to allow
more engagement and access to accomplish the President's Open
Government goals and to allow their agencies to fulfill the
requirements of the Open Government Directive.
This workshop will help legal counsel, privacy and ethics
officers understand the core technology issues at a basic level,
understand how other agencies are enabling social media and open
government policies to move forward quickly and how to transform their
roles to be enablers of policy change in the areas of social media and
open government.
