government, including state, municipality, county, and Native American Tribal be represented in order to 
ensure that each agency’s future spectrum needs are considered in the allocation process.  Administrators 
who are not oriented in the communications field should delegate someone with this knowledge to attend, 
participate, and represent their agency’s needs.  All interested parties wishing to participate in the 
planning for the use of public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz bands within Region 24 
should plan to attend.
