The Gazette

Gazettes are e-mail bulletins containing timely information about ombudsman program happenings, State and Federal Legislation and "DC Doins'." They are compiled by Becka Livesay and Jessica Brill and distributed by NORC to state and local ombudsmen regularly via e-mail.

Gazettes are placed on the website as soon as they are available and are organized by date. The files are in PDF format and are printable.

We encourage state ombudsmen to distribute the Gazette to their local and volunteer ombudsmen who do not have e-mail or access to the Internet.
