[NaepcA1]

Dear PNW Tribal Climate Change Network,

Thanks to everyone who filled out the doodle poll. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 27th from 10 am - 11:30 am Pacific. I have included call-in information and a draft agenda below. Please let me know if you have any additions to the agenda.

I have also attached a funding announcement from the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) -- they are soliciting proposals for tribal community-based energy research, technology transfer, economic development, and public education projects. Thanks to Angelique Shantz for passing that along.

As always, you can view minutes from our last call at: http://tribalclimate.uoregon.edu/network/. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Kathy
