5:30 – 6:30 PM: MMA Town Hall Meeting

Members of MMA’s leadership team will provide updates on initiatives and programs, and staff will share information about an important new initiative called ServeStrong, a web-based platform designed to ensure Maine’s first responders have access to trauma-based mental health resources and support. Attendees will also learn about MMA’s new cybersecurity portal designed to help municipal officials navigate the challenges of cyber security in a step-by-step format, as well as a recent collaboration with InnovateUS to bring AI training tools tailored specifically to meet the needs of government officials including towns, cities, and plantations. 

6:30 – 7:30 PM: Maine Freedom of Access Act and Right to Know Training

Learn from MMA legal services staff who will facilitate the training, which is required for many municipal officials and employees on a regular basis. Even if not required, many elected officials and employees benefit from this training which provides an overview of the FOAA, including open meeting requirements, why FOAA requests are filed, and how to handle them. Participants will receive a certificate documenting their completion of this training at the conclusion. For a full description of who is required to complete this training and when, please review this FAQ on the State of Maine website: https://www.maine.gov/foaa/faq/index.shtml
