More than 450 Chickasaw citizens have registered to attend the Chickasaw Nation listening conference Feb. 12 through 14 at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.
“We are conducting this conference because we are in a position to begin offering services never before available to those living outside the Chickasaw Nation jurisdictional boundaries,” said Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby. “As we begin this historic effort, it is very important that we hear from our citizens so we can work together to develop programs and services which will best meet their needs.”
Tribal officials are conducting the conference to learn the ideas and priorities of tribal citizens concerning the expansion of programs and services including aging, housing, health care, education and more.
Those unable to attend the conference are being encouraged to submit their ideas by email at comments@chickasaw.net or by calling Stacy Edgar of Chenae Casady at (580) 421-7711.
