Sunshine Week Press 2007

Sunshine Week will be celebrated during the week of March 11-17, 2007. Participants of this national non-partisan initiative include print, broadcast and online news media; civic groups, libraries, non-profits, schools and others interested in the public's constitutional right to know. This event is dedicated to enlightening and empowering people to play an active role in all levels of their government, and giving them access to vital information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger.
In accordance with the spirit of Sunshine Week, The League of Women Voters of Geneva-St. Charles recently launched an Observer Corps and they have begun attending and monitoring Kane County government meetings. Members provide a summary of activities of the various standing committees; then report their observations back to the Observer Corps. for possible discussion or further action. These reports are uploaded to the http://www.lwvgenstc.org website which is available for public viewing.
The ability to access public records and to attend government meetings impacts everyone. The League believes everyone has the right to know what their government is doing. Knowledge of what information is legally accessible, as well as how to obtain such data, is essential to maintain transparent government, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
To ensure the continuation of open, transparent governance, LWV Geneva-St. Charles strongly encourages local individuals, officials, and organizations to join us in this national non-partisan initiative to preserve the essence of our democracy. If you, your governing body, or organization shares these values, please support this initiative by signing our pledge committed to an open, transparent government by simply providing your name, e-mail address, and organization to info@lwvgenstc.org. Supporters of this initiative will be publicized during activities slated for Sunshine Week 2008. Thank you, in advance, for ensuring democracy works for the people!
