If you plan on attending, please send me an email, letting me know. Also, please pass this information along to anyone who would benefit from this training. This is the first year that we have invited our Local Government Specialist in from Juneau to do this training. Therefore, I really do not know what to expect. I am optimistic though and believe that it will benefit everyone who attends government or tribal meetings.

Hope to see you there!
