CRIT Chairwoman Amelia Flores and Councilman Tommy Drennan attended the 45th Annual Colorado Law Conference on Natural Resources in Boulder, Colorado June 5th and 6th.
“It was an honor to attend this important gathering which brought together leaders, legal experts, and diverse stakeholders from across the country to address today’s most pressing issues in natural resource law and policy,” said Chairwoman Flores.
While at the conference CRIT Councilman Drennan and Chairwoman Flores met with Senior Department of Interior and Bureau of Reclamation officials to further the goals of the tribes, including finalizing a $1million grant to identify repairs needed on CRIT’s irrigation project.
Chairwoman Flores added, “I was proud to represent the Colorado River Indian Tribes and to be among those committed to advancing responsible stewardship, equity, and meaningful dialogue regarding the Colorado River and the critical drought we are all faced with.”
Councilman Drennan stated, “It’s a privilege to carry the voice of the people and the river to the places we once fell silent. Our past councils paved a way to the table and now we must do our part.”
