 Subject: Invitation to UW Event


We at the UW Graduate School of Public Affairs' Trust in Government
Project would like to invite all interested SCN folks to our upcoming
event on Technology and Trust in Government, as below:


Technotrust:  Trusting Government Information in an Electronic Age
		Thursday, February 19, 1998
			7:30 p.m.
		The Forum (309 Parrington Hall, UW)

The emerging role of the Internet as a part of everyday life has
profoundly affected the way the average citizen interacts with and
perceives the role of government.  More information about government
activity is available to ordinary citizens than ever before.
Conversely, more information about the lives of citizens also may be
available to government agencies.  

"This is a wonderful opportunity to begin to explore the ways the Internet
is changing communication between the government and citizens with such a
distinguished panel of federal and local people who have such a strong
base of knowledge on the topic" states event organizer, Andy Gordon.  
 
Featuring:
Bruce McConnell, Chief of Information Policy in the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs at OMB and GSPA alumnus

Francis D. Fisher, currently Senior Research Fellow at the LBJ
School, an attorney and former federal administrator with USAID & HUD;

Tina Podlodowski, chair of the Seattle City Council Health and Technology
committee and former Microsoft executive.  

Andrew Gordon, Professor, The Graduate School of Public Affairs  

***Also watch out for upcoming student TIG project events, including the
Partnership for Cultural Diversity's event on Affirmative Action on 
February 26 at 4 p.m. in Parrington Hall 309. 



The Trust in Government Project project at the Graduate School of Public
Affairs focuses on the growing public attitude of cynicism and widespread
distrust for government in the United States.  In 1985, GSPA embarked on a
three-year project aimed at exploring the issues leading to, and revolving
around, public trust in government.  The project intends to reach beyond
the boundaries of campus by involving the public, local and state
governments, non-profit organizations, the news media and businesses in
exploration of this critical issue.
