Subject: Important Reminder: Broadband Access Meeting in Trinity County – October 29th
Good afternoon Melissa,
The North State Planning and Development Collective, in partnership with the Nor Rel Muk Wintu
Nation, would like to extend a final invitation to our upcoming in-person event focused on broadband
access in rural and tribal lands. We are bringing together representatives from tribes, local and state
government, ISPs, and other stakeholders for a critical discussion on broadband equity.
Event Details
Date: October 29, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (Lunch will be provided)
Location: Trinity River Natives’ Cultural Center
304 Corral Bottom Rd., Big Bar, CA, in Trinity County
This event aims to facilitate a conversation about the challenges and opportunities surrounding
broadband deployment in tribal areas. Topics of discussion will include:
Barriers to deployment
Upcoming broadband projects near Tribal lands
Affordability and digital equity
Cultural monitoring
Tribal access to Middle Mile
Meeting sponsored in part by CPUC Equity and Access Grant Program and the California Employment
Training Panel (ETP).
We believe your insights can help shape the future of connectivity in rural and tribal communities. By
participating, you’ll have the opportunity to not only contribute to these important conversations but
also collaborate with others to create actionable strategies that support the growth and sustainability of
broadband access in these areas.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Sabrina Oregel, Outreach Coordinator, at
saoregel@csuchico.edu, or Melissa Tanner, Project Manager, at mkkovacs@csuchico.edu.
