Documenters are trained and paid to attend public meetings and record what they see and hear. Our efforts put more eyeballs on government officials and build a more robust public record. At this session you will learn everything you need to know about joining our crew!
Join us for a Documenters informational session at The Exchange in Omaha on Saturday, 11/16 at 11:00 a.m. Or attend the afternoon training with InCommon at 2 PM on the same day at 1340 Park Ave. We want to see you there!
