  • Kieran Connolly, Vice President of Generation and Asset Management, Bonneville Power Administration

Task Force and Working Group members are encouraged to participate and ask questions, but no deliberations will take place, and no actions will be taken. The goal of the webinar is for Task Force and Working Group members to better understand this topic and help members formulate their perspectives about the potential orca recovery actions involving removal of the Lower Snake River Dams.

The public is welcome to listen to the webinar, which will be recorded for later viewing.
