Last summer the White House invited County Commissioners, Sheriffs, Legislators, and Mayors to Washington, DC for Montana State Day at the White House. During the event, attendees toured the White House and then gathered at the Eisenhower Building to hear from Executive Department Officials.
This summer the White House is arranging a similar regional event for Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska, which is scheduled for September 10th. The meeting is designed for county (commissioners/supervisors) and municipal officials and will include briefings and discussion with Senior Administration Officials on shared federal-state-local priorities pertinent to you.
If you would like to attend, please RSVP per the invitation that was recently sent to you by Tuesday, September 3.
