"Registration extended through April 4 for State Agency, Local Government, Non-profit Personnel; Small Business Owners; Tribal Governments and Organizations"* *
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, along with Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis, is hosting the *"3rd Annual Wyoming Funding Summit "**at Central Wyoming College in Riverton, April 14-17.* Summit attendees will benefit from the opportunity to brush up on grant writing skills and participate in interactive fireside chat break-out sessions regarding Wyoming’s highest priorities, including water and sewer infrastructure; housing, health and social services; agriculture; workforce development; energy; wildfires and emergency management; recreation and tourism. The interactive format will allow participants to ask questions and network and learn from grant recipients and administrators.
Former Wyoming State House Representative, newly-appointed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 Administrator Cyrus Western will deliver keynote remarks the afternoon of April 17.
“I’ve known Cyrus his entire life. His priorities as a legislator were in-line with our top Wyoming interests — from our precious core industries to wildlife and recreation. It will be good to have someone who understands western issues as Region 8 Administrator. I am confident Cyrus will advance the issues of the west,” said Governor Gordon. “Summit attendees will gain from his insights.”
