Open Meetings Open Records Training

Open Meetings/Open Records Training

A law adopted in the 2025 legislative session set a requirement for all new elected officials and those appointed to governmental bodies (at the city government level, common examples include library boards, planning and zoning commissions, boards of adjustments and more) to complete a training on the responsibilities and requirements for open meetings and open records laws. The training must be completed within 90 days of an official taking the oath of office or assuming the duties of their office.

By registering for this workshop, I understand that registering alone does not fulfill the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) training certification requirement.

To receive certification, each attendee must complete a separate certification form provided at the end of the workshop via a link or QR code from the host.

Once the certification form is submitted, a copy of the certificate will be emailed to both the attendee and their city clerk in accordance with IPIB state requirements within 10 business days of the training session you attend.
