Dear PNW Tribal Climate Change Network:
Below, please find an updated agenda for today's call from 12 pm - 1:30 pm Pacific. The call-in # is 1-888-858-2144. The pass code is 5064716. Please note, this is a new call-in number and should no longer limit the number of people calling in. If you have any trouble, just send me a quick email.
We have a lot of ground to cover, so we will start as close to noon as possible. Because we have a number of new people joining the network, I do plan to take a few minutes at the beginning of the call so that people can introduce themselves and very briefly describe their climate-related work.
I look forward to talking with many of you soon.
Regards,
Kathy
