WELCOME to the 2008 National Tribal Forum on Air Quality!
The Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) and the National Tribal Air Association (NTAA) would like to invite you to attend the 2008
Joint National Tribal Forum / National Tribal Air Association conference on Air Quality to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 3-5, 2008.
The joint meeting is a gathering of tribal environmental professionals concerned about air quality in Indian Country. This conference is co-hosted by ITEP
and NTAA, and sponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air & Radiation. NTAA staff will provide opportunities for discussion of budget
and policy issues, and ITEP will present education, training, and monitoring updates. We also want to hear from YOU at this conference! If you're interested
in presenting a poster or giving a presentation please let us know! The more we can do to highlight the good work of the tribes, the more we'll learn from
one-another.
All interested tribal environmental professionals, U.S. EPA representatives, and members of national tribal organizations are encouraged to attend. This
conference is designed to allow attendees time and a venue to share with and learn from one another.
The conference agenda will include: Discussion of EPA's air quality budget, how it works and what tribes can do to make a positive impact; Trends in national
air quality and public health impacts; The latest on climate change and what tribes are doing to address this critical issue; Mercury monitoring; Tribal new
