Good Morning,
You are cordially invited to attend the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Tribal Transportation Conference at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center Green Bay on November 7th and November 8, 2017.
Opening ceremonies begin at 1:00 pm on November 7th with greetings from the Oneida Nation, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet and communicate with leaders from all 11 Tribes of Wisconsin, along with representatives from the Department of Transportation, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Federal Highway Administration.
The WisDOT Inter-Tribal Task Force is comprised of representatives from Wisconsin's 11 Tribes, and sponsors this yearly conference. Our mission is to articulate and facilitate a clear direction in joint transportation systems between the individual Tribal governments and the FHWA, the BIA and the WisDOT.
The planning committee has organized an in-depth schedule of workshops that provide information and assistance in a number of key areas expressed by our Tribal representatives and partners.
Please visit our website to register for the Conference.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you will be able to join us.
Sincerely,
Agnes Fleming, ITTF Coordinator
