ABA Open Meetings Policy

In accordance with Association policy, all ABA programs are open to the media and on the record unless they are being held in executive session to conduct confidential business, such as personnel or budgetary actions. Speakers should be informed of the policy when they are invited to speak. Entities do not have the authority to sign contracts or agreements to the contrary. Media should receive complimentary sets of printed materials needed to  help them provide informed coverage. The Association, in general, encourages media coverage of its activities and cooperation, to the extent feasible, in fulfilling the requests of media representatives.

When media interest is present, Media Relations & Strategic Communications will screen and qualify reporters, handle media registration and issue "news media" badges.
