The Council on Governmental Ethics Laws (COGEL) is a professional organization for agencies and individuals with responsibilities in governmental ethics, elections, campaign finance, freedom of information and lobby law regulation. Its membership is drawn from federal, state, provincial and local governments, as well as from other private and public parties.
Providence hosted the 21st annual COGEL Conference on December 5-8, 1999 at the Westin Hotel in Providence. The event was co-sponsored by the Rhode Island Ethics Commission and Secretary of State with support from the Providence-Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau. The Providence Conference set an attendance record at 397 and offered more than 40 hours of informative sessions on ethics, campaign finance, lobbying, freedom of information, and public corruption laws and agencies. Thank you to all who helped make the conference a success!
