EPA Region 4 Administrator Heather McTeer Toney will hold a round table session (Tuskegee University) and farm tour (Al Hooks Produce – Shorter, AL) on December 4, 2014. Ms. McTeer Toney is interested in reaching out to the minority farming community in Alabama as she plans to do in each of the eight southeastern states comprising EPA Region 4. She has expressed a particular interest in low income and minority communities and addressing their specific needs.
During the round table discussion, it is suggested for those who wish to speak to highlight what their individual organization does overall and any specific activities with agricultural low income and minority communities. Feel free to address any other topics you may want to make EPA and the Regional Administrator aware of. We look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
Shea Jones-Johnson, MS
Acting Agriculture Coordinator
State and Local Government Coordinator
