An Informed Public


Transparency in government is always an issue, and lately the spotlight is on Pasadena. So an event coming up at the Women's City Club and hosted by the League of Women Voters-Pasadena Area is particularly timely.

The deadline for reserving lunch is today, February 26th! For the discussion, you can reserve as late as March 4th.

Thursday March 5 at 9:30 AM, get a load of this panel: Ann Erdman (former Pasadena Public Information Officer), Karen Foshay (Al Jazeera-Los Angeles), Noelia Rodriguez (Chief Communications Officer, Metro Los Angeles) and Keri Stokstad (Executive Director, Pasadena Media) will appear on a panel moderated by Val Zavala (VP of News and Public Affairs at KCET). The topic: the public's right to know.

Each panelist has their own perspective, of course. It'll be interesting to hear what they have to say. The presentation is free and open to the public, but seating is limited so you must have a reservation! Call 626-798-0965 or e-mail office@lwv-pa.org to let them know you're coming. If you'd like to stay for lunch (optional, $25) and more conversation about open government, sign up online here: http://lwv-pa.org/

Park behind the Club in their lot off Madison. It's free.

I just found out the deadline for reservations is today! I updated the post. I don't suppose you're going, though, William...

I won't be able to go either :). Wish I could, though!

Nevertheless, I love having friends from all over the world.

Ann Erdman said...

I'm really looking forward to it and was flattered to be asked to be a panelist.

Petrea Burchard said...

Ann, you're an expert on informing the public! They couldn't do the panel without you.

That looks like a fantastic lineup! I would guess this would be well attended.

Seems to me it ought to sell out!
