The Trustee Council will hold its sixth annual public meeting and open house via webinar this year due to current nationwide health concerns. The meeting date is June 17, 2021. The webinar is open to everyone and we encourage your attendance and participation. 

During this meeting, we will present updates on the progress made by the Trustee Council and in each of the seven Restoration Areas. This meeting will also serve as the annual public meeting for the Regionwide Trustee Implementation Group. We’ll provide an opportunity for public comments after the presentations. We will hold an open house Q&A session prior to the public meeting presentations. Fact sheets are available below to help with your public comments and questions.

The registration page includes questions that ask whether you would like to sign up to give a verbal comment during the public meeting. If you sign up, you will receive a follow up email with additional instructions. If you are not sure if you would like to make a public comment, you will have the opportunity to do so during the webinar.

The registration page also includes an opportunity to submit a question about restoration area planning and projects, data management, or monitoring during the open house. We will also take written questions during the open house.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to join. We recommend doing a GoToWebinar system check, and reviewing the attendee guide before joining the webinar. You will have options to join the webinar via a web browser, or you can download the GoToWebinar app if you haven’t already.

Please contact us at webinars@dwhtig.org by June 2, 2021, if you need special assistance with language, hearing, or visual capabilities.

If you are unable to attend the public meeting, we will update the Gulf Spill Restoration website with the presentation and transcript, and we will send a follow-up email with this information when it is available. Last year’s annual public meeting information was made available shortly after the July 2020 meeting.
