DES Tribal Informational Forum

Description:

Join the DES Office of Tribal Relations on September 28th to learn about DES updates on program, policy, and/or services. Each Division will attend, and you can ask questions in individual break-out sessions with a specific Division. This is not a Tribal Consultation, it is a forum for tribes, tribal program staff, and tribal stakeholders to engage and be made aware of the programs and services DES provides. If tribes are interested in a Tribal Consultation, please contact the Tribal Relations Manager; contact information is at the bottom of this notice.

To self-select a specific Breakout Room during the Forum, YOU MUST HAVE either:

• Zoom Desktop client or the mobile app: version 5.3.0 or higher, or
• Zoom Chrome OS: version 5.0.0 (4241.1207) or higher.

If not, we will have to manually move you in the break-out room, which can take time away from your session. Please consult your technology department or manager to ensure you have the correct version of Zoom.
