Thank you to Blacks in Government – our NCEPS partner- for submitting this resolution for ratification at their August National Training in Dallas.

From Matthew Fogg, BIG First Vice-President: Please visit BIG’s web-page or just click on this link:

 Resolution (5) “BIG Stands In Solidarity With Native Americans”. 

This Resolution will have to be ratified via votes by the BIG National Delegates at our www.BIGNET.org National Training Institute (NTI) conference in Dallas TX (August 2013). Hope you and other Tribal representatives will be there to see this major accomplishment.
