Examples of transparency in a Sentence

1. Alondra Nelson:

   There were a lot of conversations about the relationship between transparency and accountability of federal science and technology, and how doing that well helps to restore trust in government, part of the exercise of having these public conversations was trying to begin to restore this trust -- to say to the American public, this is what we're doing, these are the issues that we're taking up, what you think that we should be doing or what are the issues that are of concern to you ?

2. Julia Sass Rubin:

   These revelations speak to the general lack of transparency around the PARCC tests, the lack of an open, deliberative process, and the exclusion of parents and other community members from any decision-making, we need hearings on this immediately, to understand fully the level of spying on our children that is being done by Pearson and other corporations, and the level of coordination between Pearson and the NJDOE. We encourage the NJDOE to suspend the May testing round until those questions can be addressed.

3. Joe Manchin:

   Transparency in the public sector is much different than in the private sector, when you're in the public sector you have to gain the trust of constituents, those for and against you.

5. Chris Sununu:

   Their communication is just terrible, and from a leadership perspective, communication is everything. Communication builds public confidence and builds transparency.
