PNW Tribal CLimate Change Network mtg Jan 5, 2012 Update

[NaepcA1]

Dear Pacific Northwest Tribal Climate Change Network:

In preparation for our call (Thursday, January 5th, 2012 at 11 am Pacific), I am re-sending call-in information and an updated agenda. I have attached an organizational chart shared by John Mankowski. He will be referencing this in his discussion about the tribal engagement strategy for the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative.

Also, we are in the process of updating the Tribal Leaders' Guide on U.S. Climate Change Programs (originally released in June 2011). We have made a number of updates and I wanted to share the revised guide with you. If you have questions, or additional programs that you would like to include, please let me know.

Regards,
Kathy
