Elected officials and citizens alike may benefit from a workshop presented by Nevada Deputy Attorney General George Taylor at Great Basin College.

The free workshop will be held Tuesday, Oct. 2, from 2 to 4 p.m. at GBC campuses and centers in Battle Mountain, Elko, Ely, Pahrump and Winnemucca.

"Open Meeting Law Defined" will be a discussion of the state law and its requirements of public bodies. The workshop will provide participants with a clear view of open meeting law requirements, including noticing of meetings, requirements for the conduct of those meetings and penalties for non-compliance with the open meeting law.

The workshop is free.

Taylor will conduct the meeting using GBC's state-of-the-art interactive video technology from the High Tech Center, Room 121, on the GBC Elko Campus and the Pahrump Valley Campus on Calvada Boulevard, Room 119.
