Demonstrate the importance of having plans in place before open records/FOIA requests are received, including consideration of the type of information included in meeting minutes, accreditation program descriptions, etc.
Discuss internal (e.g., IRB, IACUC, IO, FOIA Office, legal counsel) and external (e.g., regulatory and accreditation agencies, media outreach) communication strategies when open records/FOIA requests are received
