From Confused to Compliant: Mastering OMA
The Open Meetings Act means that any township public body must do all of its business “out in the open,” in full view of the public—unless one of the few, very limited, exceptions for closed sessions apply. The OMA is a clash of two worlds—public sector vs. private sector. But township board meetings are not supposed to be a “free for all” or “town hall”! Learn about getting township board business done while being open, transparent and efficient.
