KeepingCurrent: OIRA in Your Classroom: A Chance to Show Your Students How They Can Help Shape Federal Regulations

May 21 | 1 p.m. EDT

Federal regulations set the rules of the road that affect our lives in myriad ways—from providing access to affordable medicine to reducing children’s exposure to harmful toxins. A critical part of designing regulations that work is hearing from the public. Greater public participation leads to a more responsive and effective federal government that better addresses the needs of the American people. The Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is taking new steps to make it easier for interested members of the public to voice their views in the federal rulemaking process. As a part of this effort, OIRA is reaching out to post-secondary educational institutions that teach public policy and public administration to offer an exciting learning opportunity. In this webinar we’ll describe this opportunity and encourage ASPA members to sign up their classes for a session in Fall Semester 2024.

Presenters:
