Led by attorney Jonathan Cowell, the session provides a comprehensive legal overview of\u00a0RSA 91-A, which dictates how local governments must maintain transparency through\u00a0public meetings\u00a0and\u00a0record accessibility. The presentation details the four essential elements required to constitute a legal meeting and explains the strict protocols for\u00a0remote participation\u00a0and\u00a0non-public sessions. Additionally, the source outlines the procedures for managing\u00a0governmental record requests, including how to apply\u00a0privacy balancing tests\u00a0and identify legal exemptions. The training emphasizes that while the public deserves broad access to information, officials must follow specific\u00a0retention rules\u00a0and use\u00a0dedicated communication channels\u00a0to remain compliant. Ultimately, the session serves as a guide for balancing\u00a0operational efficiency\u00a0with the statutory mandate for\u00a0governmental transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Hampshire Right to Know Law and Public Meeting Training, 3\/25\/2026\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mYhKnnJNMYk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=2595\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=2595\">Effective Public Meetings &amp; The Right to Know<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=1898\">Interim Superintendent Addresses Right to Know\u00a0Requests<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=1668\">School District: Right to Know\u00a0Procedures<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=7945\">New Town 91-A Right to Know\u00a0Policy<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=2397\">How to\u00a0Effectively Use NH\u2019s Right to Know\u00a0Law<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=3175\">Right to Know<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=3175\">Law RSA 91A Presentation, 4\/22\/2021<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=2003\">Update on School Right to Know\u00a0Requests, 11\/29\/2022<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=3639\"><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=3639\">Public Comment: Effective Public Meetings &amp; The <a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=2028\">School Board Chair and Interim Superintendent Opposed to\u00a0sharing information via email<\/a>\u00a0Law 6\/22\/2017<\/a><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=2028\">School Board Chair and Interim Superintendent Opposed to\u00a0sharing information via email<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=1745\">RSA 91A Presentation to\u00a0the School Board, 10\/18\/2022<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=9029\">Town of Londonderry to\u00a0Charge Fees for 91A Documents<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=7682\">Londonderry Town Councilor Sponsors Bill to\u00a0Restrict 91A Requests<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=8432\">Former Councilor Jim Butler Wants Costs of 91A Requests Published<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right to Know Law training\u00a0conducted in 2026 by the\u00a0New Hampshire Municipal Association\u00a0for officials in Londonderry.
