Our Regional Councils serve as an Advisory Board to the OML Board of Directors, and play an important role in our Legislative Efforts. The Regional Councils allow OML to have more representation from all of our cities and towns across the State, and give our members an opportunity to be more involved.

The NOI teaches the statutorily required topics such as Municipal Budget Requirements, the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act, the Oklahoma Open Records Act, Ethics, Procedures for Conducting Meetings, Conflicts of Interest, and Purchasing Procedures.

Remember, you don't have to be a new official to attend. Returning elected officials and municipal employees are welcome!

The NOI offers 7 hours of General Education Credit and .5 hours ethics through the CLE program.
