The Pala Band of Mission Indians and the US Environmental Protection Agency are honored to co-host the 2021 Tribal EPA Region 9 Annual Conference, taking place October 18-21, 2021. Under the direction of the Pala Environmental Department and in cooperation with EPA’s Region 9 Tribal Branch, we are organizing a robust and exciting agenda of speakers, sessions, and experiences for conference attendees. 

The Tribal EPA Region 9 Annual Conference has been the must-attend annual event for Region 9 Tribes since it began in 1993. Now in its 29th year, the conference provides opportunities to learn from Tribal environmental professionals and USEPA experts in air quality, water quality, pollution prevention, solid waste management, climate change adaptation, and more.

Starting with the fall Regional Tribal Operations Committee (RTOC) meeting on day one, the conference continues over the next three days with presentations, round-tables, trainings, panel discussions, workshops, and more.

Whether you are a seasoned Tribal environmental professional or brand new, you will find something new and exciting to learn and share at the R9 Tribal Environmental Conference. See old friends, make new connections, and strengthen Tribal sovereignty and environmental protection efforts at the Tribal EPA Region 9 Annual Conference.
