The Regents always seek public input.We’ve taken many steps aimed at giving parents, educators, taxpayers, and all ofNew York’s citizens a greater role in our work. We have a newly designed website that makes it simple to find information about all areas of the Department; a communications strategy that seeks two-way conversations between the Regents, the Department, our partners in education, and the public; and we are now webcasting full Board meetings. These are just a few of the ways we are reaching out to our partners and all New Yorkers.	Anthony S. Bottar B.A., J.D. Syracuse	Roger B. Tilles B.A., J.D. Great Neck
