PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD

To foster a better understanding of its mission and work, Board Members and staff speak at
events, including webinars, hosted by other government agencies, as well as by a variety of
groups and organizations, including bar associations, business organizations, educational
institutions, and non-governmental organizations. Board Members and staff held several
briefings on Capitol Hill to provide updates on the Board’s work and, upon request, to
provide technical assistance on legislative matters as the agency strives to be a valuable
resource to Congress through its work and written reports, briefings, and testimony on
matters within the Board’s authority. While many of
these interactions were virtual during FY 2020 due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, Board Members and staff
also continued their past practice of meeting with
representatives of non-governmental organizations,
the private sector, international counterparts, and
other entities with interest in issues within the
Board’s jurisdiction.
