Commissioners emphasize attorney–client privilege, ethics and security training for new members
Summary
Commissioners urged early, mandatory training on attorney–client privilege, government ethics and public meetings law, and recommended practical IT/security guidance for commissioners who will take laptops home or work remotely.
During the onboarding discussion commissioners raised risk areas they want emphasized early in orientation. One commissioner said the short-term risk for new commissioners is "privileged information" and urged training to reduce accidental breaches. Staff agreed and recommended early attorney–client privilege training alongside state webinars on government ethics and public meetings law.
A commissioner also asked that practical cyber and device guidance be included for commissioners who will be working remotely or from public spaces. Staff confirmed security and IT setup would be included in the onboarding binders and that mandatory webinars would be scheduled early in the term.
