Outreach officer reports new training partnerships including Nevada Gaming Control Board; commission directs outreach work
Summary
Outreach and Education Officer Sam Harvey reported new social-media strategies, training partnerships and platform metrics — including a Nevada Gaming Control Board rollout — and the commission unanimously directed outreach staff to continue and expand outreach and training efforts.
Sam Harvey, outreach and education officer for the Commission on Ethics, presented a report on outreach, training and public information efforts and received unanimous commission direction to continue and expand those activities.
Harvey described new social-media strategies (slideshow videos and topical posts designed to increase engagement), in-person training and partnerships. He said the Nevada Gaming Control Board agreed to require its personnel to complete the commission’s Nevada Ethics Online training; as of Aug. 12 the Gaming Control Board had enrolled 391 users and roughly 14% of those users had completed the training. Harvey said the Nevada Ethics Online platform currently shows about 197 active users and 363 courses completed, and that the average time to complete the agency’s basic ethics course is about 90 minutes.
Commissioners suggested additional outreach opportunities: Commissioner Olsen proposed condensed 30-minute ethics overviews for police and fire academies and said he would connect staff with the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association. Multiple commissioners praised Harvey’s work and encouraged using the manual and the online platform for broader onboarding across state agencies.
Action: Motion to direct the Outreach and Education Officer to take action regarding the commission’s outreach and education efforts, including continued development of Nevada Ethics Online, partnerships, and training. Motion was made (mover not specified in the public record) and seconded by Commissioner Reynolds; the motion passed unanimously.
Ending: Harvey said staff will integrate the manual into outreach and online training and continue developing the strategic implementation plan for broader statewide outreach.
