Symposia on Government Oversight and Accountability
The Symposia on Government Oversight and Accountability is a series of monthly conversations with experts on timely issues in government oversight.
These sessions will examine the roles of all three branches of government in conducting oversight, along with the contributions of civil society organizations, including think tanks and investigative journalists. Our goal is to educate, discuss recent developments, and share insights on the state of government oversight today.
Sessions will be moderated by TSPPPA Lecturer Jay N. Lerner, former Inspector General at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
