  "Washington State’s Public Records Act”
  
  Program: Join us at the April program where our guest speaker will provide an update on the 2005 amendments to the Public Records Act and an analysis of the Attorney General's 2006 Model Rules on Public Records.
  
  Speaker: Greg Overstreet is Rob McKenna’s Special Assistant Attorney General for Government Accountability. He coordinates Public Records Act and other open-government policy, legislation, and training. Greg serves as an “ombudsman” to the public to resolve open-government issues with state agencies and, when appropriate, local governments. He also assists state agencies with PRA advice and, on occasion, litigation. He drafted the Attorney General’s 2006 Model Rules on Public Records and spearheaded the effort to pass the 2005 amendments to the PRA.
  
  Greg joined the AG’s Office in January, 2005. Prior to that, he was an attorney in the Olympia office of the Seattle-based law firm of Perkins Coie where he practiced PRA and regulatory litigation. In private practice, Greg represented mostly business-community trade associations but also represented the Senate and House of Representatives on specific matters. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Washington State Bar Association’s forthcoming 22-chapter Public Records Act Deskbook, which is scheduled for publication in September, 2006. Greg graduated from the University of Puget Sound School of Law. While at UPS, he served as an editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. He earned an undergraduate degree in Russian and East European Studies from the University of Washington. Greg is a native of Mt. Vernon, Washington.
