Training

See below for OIP's training guides and training videos for the UIPA and Sunshine Law.


TRAINING VIDEOS:

The state Office of Information Practices is pleased to provide you with two new training videos to provide in-depth training on the Uniform Information Practices Act as well as the Sunshine Law. Each video is a PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and comes in two parts, which will take a total of approximately 1-½ hours to complete.

OIP is using technology to efficiently leverage its limited resources. These on-line videos provide the same content that OIP formerly presented in person, and they are now more readily available 24/7 to all government agencies as well as members of the public. By asking agencies to first view these videos for basic training on the open government laws, OIP can more effectively follow-up with specialized in-person training to answer questions and focus on agencies’ specific areas of concern.

Sunshine Law:

Sunshine Law Guide:

OIP has prepared a guide to the Sunshine Law, which may be downloaded in pdf or word format below.

This guide is intended to be a reference tool for board members and members of the public in understanding Hawaii’s Sunshine Law.

We have attempted to present the law in “plain English,” through the types of questions that are most frequently asked. We have also included a flowchart regarding executive meetings and a checklist for notices that are intended to provide additional tools to aid your understanding and compliance with the Sunshine Law.

 

Agenda and Minutes Workshops:

The state Office of Information Practices (OIP) will be hosting “Workshop Wednesdays” at the State Office Tower in Honolulu to teach Sunshine Law boards how to properly prepare public meeting agendas and minutes.

The free, one-hour workshops will be offered to boards’ secretaries, executive directors, and attorneys, who will be asked before the workshop to provide a set of their agendas and minutes that will be shared with the other participants. At the workshop, an OIP staff attorney will provide comments and answer questions as to how each board’s agenda or minutes could be improved. Using a board’s own materials may help its key personnel to better understand what the Sunshine Law requires and will provide a practical learning experience.

Workshops will be held on Wednesday, November 30 and December 7, 14, and 21, 2011, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Registration for each workshop will be limited to twelve Sunshine Law boards.
To register, please email oip@hawaii.gov or call Dawn Shimabukuro at (808) 586-1400.

 

Sunshine Law Video:

OIP now has a one-hour training video: "Introduction to the Sunshine Law" for board and commission members, and also of interest to the public. You can view the training video here.
