Dear Tribal Leaders, Tribal Environmental Staff, Tribal Consortia, EPA and other Federal Agency partners,

I hope this message finds you well. As we embark on a new chapter in our collective journey towards environmental stewardship and tribal empowerment, it is with great excitement that I extend to you a heartfelt invitation to the “Strength in Knowledge, Power in Action: Capacity Building for Tribal Environmental Leadership” Summit, hosted by EPA Region 10 RTOC.

This year’s summit promises to be a truly immersive and engaging experience, unlike any before. We’ve re-imagined our approach, placing a strong emphasis on active participation, meaningful dialogue, and hands-on workshops designed to empower and equip tribal leaders like yourself with the tools and knowledge needed to drive impactful change within your communities.

Our agenda is being carefully crafted to foster collaboration, innovation, and collective learning. From dynamic keynote presentations by esteemed thought leaders to interactive breakout sessions and panel discussions, every moment is an opportunity to engage, connect, and inspire one another.

By joining us, you’ll not only gain invaluable insights and practical strategies for addressing the environmental challenges facing tribal nations but also forge lasting connections with fellow leaders who share your commitment to protecting our natural resources and preserving our cultural heritage.

Together, we have the power to effect profound and lasting change. Let’s harness the strength of our knowledge and the power of our collective action to create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.

We look forward to welcoming you to this transformative summit and embarking on this journey together!

With respect and gratitude, Region 10 RTOC
