This public meeting is presented as part of the MRJWB’s Educate, Advocate, and Engage (EAE) program. The program is designed to educate the general public and policymakers of the concerns of the users of North Dakota with the Missouri River system; advocate these concerns in clear and concise communications to state and federal leaders and regulatory agencies; and engage with all the interests in the state, all the users and those who rely on or enjoy the benefits of the river system, so that their inputs and voices are heard in how the system is managed.
