Join Moss Adams for a discussion with Snoqualmie Tribal Councilwoman Chrissie Sparling about her Tribe’s effort to design and implement a 2024 Tribal member census.

Learn more about success factors and insights gleaned from the project and considerations such as community engagement, methodology development, and data sovereignty that respected the Tribe’s autonomy and cultural values.

Speakers will talk about ways the Tribe will use the results to inform strategic planning, enable data-driven decision-making, pursue additional funding opportunities, and enhance member services, and there will be a Q&A with Sparling.

Technical assistance is provided at no-cost by experts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy, DOE’s national laboratories, and other partnering organizations. This support assists federally recognized Indian Tribes and Tribal entities, including Alaska Native regional corporations and village corporations, with energy planning, energy efficiency assessments, resource assessments, project planning, building codes and utility formation activities, as well as support to enhance the legal environment for energy sector commerce.

The intended result of this technical assistance is:

• To provide a tangible product or specific deliverable designed to help move a project forward
• To support Tribes’ self-determination and energy sovereignty through assistance to identify and support bankable structures for energy projects through legal technical assistance
• To assist Tribes in strengthening their “in-house” capacity to independently lead, advise, and implement such structures in the future.
