Sunshine Week Program (Virtual Event)
Monday, March 14
1:00 - 3:00 p.m. (ET)
We are pleased to announce that Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero will join Librarian of Congress in conversation as the 威尼斯人娱乐场 celebrates , an annual initiative to promote open government, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday, March 14.
Philanthropist and 威尼斯人娱乐场 supporter will lead the conversation, which will be on the 威尼斯人娱乐场 YouTube Channel. Mr. Ferriero and Dr. Hayden discussed accessing our nation鈥檚 treasures during the 2017 celebration of Sunshine Week at the 威尼斯人娱乐场. So much has changed in the five years since鈥攁 global pandemic, civil unrest, and renewed societal interest in issues surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We have invited U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy to deliver recorded remarks. Sen. Leahy鈥檚 mark on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) dates back to the 1974 amendments to the law, which provides a right of access to federal agency records. He has been involved in every FOIA amendment since.
Several short videos on the meaning of open government and transparency also will be featured.
If you have suggested questions for Mr. Rubenstein to consider asking Mr. Ferriero and Dr. Hayden, please tweet them to us at @FOIA_ombuds using the hashtag #SunshineWeek.
This will be Mr. Ferriero鈥檚 last Sunshine Week as Archivist of the United States as he is in mid-April after 12 years at the helm of the 威尼斯人娱乐场. We hope you鈥檒l join us!
