Governor will join stateside governors in fiscal and transportation panels
November 2, 2009
Governor Felix P. Camacho will be joining state and community leaders, Department of Defense (DoD) and military officials, and senior administration and federal agency officials during a conference hosted by the DoD and the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA).
The conference will bring together states and communities partnering with DoD and federal civilian agencies to share best practices, confront impediments to success, and explore opportunities for further collaboration.
Gov. Camacho was invited to participate in two panels that will foster dialogue on transportation and fiscal challenges.
“This conference will draw many key individuals who need to hear what our island is challenged with in light of the buildup,” said Governor Camacho. “I will be sitting with other stateside governors in two critical panels. I plan to share the difficulties that confront our transportation and fiscal status, and the need for greater assistance moving forward.”
According to the conference’s web site, the event will include daily plenary sessions, multiple program tracks focused on compatible use, installation growth, BRAC downsizing, including changes to DoD’s reserve component sites, state partnering efforts and other initiatives.
The conference is scheduled for Nov. 2-5 and will be held in Orlando, FL. Gov. Camacho is expected to return at the end of the week. Airfare for the governor and accompanying government officials has been funded by OEA.
