their national TERO conven-
tion at Kah-Nee-Ta Resort.
This was the very first of

TERO office, based at Ven-
tures.
Wendell Jim is director,
and Mary Sando-Emhoolah
is the dispatcher, among her
other TERO duties. The of-
fice opened last year.

Began’—will be at Kah-Nee-
Ta July 30-August 3.

among the participants, and
registration.
The agenda for the con-
vention includes a posting of
the colors by Warm Springs
Veterans on Monday, July
30; followed by the welcom-
ing to Warm Springs and
Kah-Nee-Ta by Tribal Coun-
cilman Lee Tom.
The keynote speaker for
the day will be Brian
Cladoosby, president of the
National Congress of the
American Indian.
The co-founders of the
Council for Tribal Employ-
ment Rights, and the current
CTER general counsel are
among the speakers.

discussion are specific to the
work of the TERO offices
across Indian Country:
The Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
(EEOC), the Office of Fed-
eral Contract Compliance
Programs with the Depart-
ment of Labor; the Federal
