POSTPONED: REDW 12TH ANNUAL TRIBAL FINANCE AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
2021-11-03 - 2021-11-04 | River Spirit Casino Resort, 8330 Riverside Parkway, Tulsa, OK, 74137
…………………………………………..
Update 09/24:
Dear Tribal Leaders and Friends:

Some risks are worth taking. 2020 saw unprecedented changes at every level and we at REDW entered 2021 filled with hope and optimism that life and business would return to normal.

With that belief as our driving force, we made the decision to host our 12th annual REDW Tribal Finance and Leadership conference for our tribal leaders and friends as an in-person event at River Spirit Resort in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Delta variant continues to drive cases of COVID-19 back up toward peak levels and we have continually monitored the situation and evaluated the risks involved. Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 REDW Tribal Finance and Leadership Conference that was set to take place on Nov 3-4, 2021.

We know that both our team at REDW and tribal leaders across the country look forward to and depend on the REDW Tribal Finance and Leadership Conference. While the postponement saddens us, we’re excited to work toward reuniting in person next year and will be working hard to bring you the connected experiences and education you expect.

As a market leader serving Tribes and tribal enterprises, we want to lead the way in inspiring confidence and bringing people back together, responsibly. You have worked tirelessly to strengthen and protect your communities and we appreciate your understanding in knowing that we will always do what is best to preserve the health and safety of our clients, strategic partners, speakers, and staff.

While a new 2022 date has not yet been set, rest assured that you will be the first to know once it is. The REDW team continues to strive toward our purpose – helping Tribes and their leaders achieve their business and community goals. If you are currently registered to attend the 2021 conference, we will be reaching out to you soon.

Until then, please stay safe and healthy!

Sincerely,

Chris Tyhurst and Wesley Benally
REDW Tribal Finance and Leadership Conference Co-chairs
………………………………………..
REDW invites Tribal Leaders to join for two solid days of engaging sessions and activities at River Spirit Resort and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma, right in the heart of Indian Country. This Conference is an unparalleled opportunity to get expert guidance on a host of important financial, legal, human resource and leadership issues impacting Native American Tribes today – and for generations to come.
You’ll meet face-to-face with REDW’s diverse tribal experts, hear first-hand accounts from other tribal leaders, and learn best practices for improving your operations. Plus, you can mingle with tribal colleagues, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones during a fun, social networking event at the end of Day One.

Meeting ID: 161 045 0061
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced a new emergency temporary standard to protect more than 84 million workers from the spread of the coronavirus on the job. The nation’s unvaccinated workers face grave danger from workplace exposure to coronavirus, and immediate action is necessary to protect them. Under this standard, covered employers must develop, implement and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, unless they adopt a policy requiring employees to choose to either be vaccinated or undergo regular COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at work.
OSHA is offering robust compliance assistance to help businesses implement the standard, which can be found at this landing page.
Please RSVP to Lujan.Theresa@dol.gov if you plan to attend at 3pm ET. This briefing is intended for tribal leaders and staff. You will have the opportunity to ask policy questions by stating in the zoom chat function that you would like to ask a question, but please do not raise casework or specific business or individual questions in the briefing, in the interest of time. Attendees are encouraged to review the guidance found in links ahead of the briefing.

“Bounty” Live World Premiere
2021-11-10 18:00 - 19:30
November 10 at 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM CST
We are citizens of the Penobscot Nation. For this film, we bring our families to Boston to read our ancestors’ death warrant. This abhorrent proclamation, made in 1755 by the colonial government, paid settlers handsomely to murder Penobscot people. It declared our people enemies and offered different prices for the scalps of children, women, and men. Bounty proclamations like this, some even paid in stolen land, persisted for more than two centuries across what is now the United States.
The memory of being hunted is in our blood. We know this to be true, and the science now affirms that trauma can be passed down from generation to generation. In “Bounty” we take control of this process by inviting our children into the colonizer’s hall of injustice, to read their hateful words and tell the truth about what was done to our ancestors. We exercise our power by sharing the horrors of this hard history as an act of resistance, remembrance, and a step toward justice.
Join Penobscot Nation Tribal Ambassador Maulian Dana, film participant Dawn Neptune Adams (Penobscot), and filmmaker and Upstander Project director Adam Mazo for a conversation after the film.
Learn more about the film at bountyfilm.org.

North County Climate Change Alliance: Our Changing Climate Series - Renewable Energy Opportunities
2021-11-11 19:30 | Virtual Event
North County Climate Change Alliance (NCCCA)
Our Changing Climate Series – Renewable Energy Opportunities
Thursday, November 11 at 7:30 pm Central
Solar power is by far the cheapest source of electricity available these days, beating coal, natural gas, and nuclear in your checkbook. But if the solar power is placed far away from the end user, these low prices are dwarfed by transmission costs and grid losses. Far away no longer makes sense. So, what are the solutions?
Please join us to hear about a prospective North County renewable energy project at Markel Reservoir, Carlsbad and as well as other nearby projects. While these projects are located here in San Diego County the approach could be used worldwide!
While the private sector brings significant technical skills, there needs to be a public-private partnership to expedite these projects. Learn how we can be a part of the team to promote this collaboration, to save money, create jobs, advance the use of renewable energy, and mitigate the climate crisis!
Local CCAs (Community Choice Aggregation, aka Community Choice Energy) such as the Clean Energy Alliance are in a position to bring hundreds of millions of dollars into their cities, with local jobs, local energy resiliency, lower energy prices, and additional city revenue. This is true community power!
We will also hear from Dave Rosenfeld, who is the Executive Director of the Solar Rights Alliance. He will update us on the current efforts underway to save rooftop solar.
(PG&E, So Cal Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric are lobbying the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to make consumer solar twice as expensive than it is today. The CPUC is expected to make a decision by the end of this year. If you were following the now-defeated AB 1139, the CPUC is where this issue will get settled.)
Please register in advance for this Zoom meeting.
There is no charge for this online event but you must register in advance. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Webinar - Traditional Gathering Methods of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
2021-11-16 10:00 | Virtual Event
Tuesday, November 16 at 11:00 am Eastern
Register
The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is hosting a free 30-minute webinar titled “Traditional Gathering Methods of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians” at 11 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 16, in recognition of Native American Heritage Month.
Tribal Forest Resource Liaison Tommy Cabe will discuss how the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Nature Resource Office is collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service to study traditional gathering practices and their impact on culturally significant plants, such as ramps and sochan. The joint effort is to demonstrate how the traditional gathering methods have much less impact on plant populations. Once these methods have been observed through scientific standards and proven, the goal is to allow access on traditional lands and to change policy on how some plants are gathered.
Cabe is a Tribal member from the Bird Town Community, and is a senior employee to the newly evolved Agricultural & Natural Resource Department. He studied environmental and natural sciences before discovering his interest in forestry. During his completion of the forestry program at Haywood Community College in 2000, he was employed by the EBCI Environmental Department as an Air Quality Technician before advancing to the evolving Water Quality Program as the Non-Point Source Coordinator. There, he managed several projects on Tribal lands to minimize pollution in the watersheds. Cabe also served as the Tribal Environmental Planner, where he oversaw both the Air Quality Program and the Non-Point Source program. As the Tribal Forest Resource Liaison, he is responsible for Forest Management Plan Development on the Trust Lands and on forested Tribal acres.

Join us to explore strong resident protections, expanded safety nets and other “upstream” affordable housing solutions that are key to avoiding evictions long after this pandemic ends – and addressing some of the enduring systematic racism in housing.
This event marks the closing session of a four-part series supported by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
