We invite federal employees to join the Office of Information Policy (OIP) at its next Best Practices Workshop on Requester Negotiations. Communicating with requesters has proven effective in narrowing complex requests and improving processing times. Panelists from several agencies will share how their negotiation efforts have improved request processing timeliness and strengthened their FOIA programs.
The workshop will take place virtually over WebEx on August 11, 2026 from 10 am to 12 pm EST. A summary of the best practices discussed will be posted on OIP’s Best Practices page.
This event is open to all agency FOIA professionals. Federal employees may register here.
For questions or more information, please contact OIP at DOJ.OIP.FOIA@usdoj.gov.
