We will set the dates for the late spring of 2023 Delta Conference at the Clinton Library as soon as the Congressional calendar comes out.

We plan to have a conference TBD in the fall of 2023 either on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, or in Little Rock elsewhere in the region.

We all know that we have plenty of challenges in the region, but there have also been some positive signs of late;

The Delta Regional Authority budget is sound at $30 million, and while we would like to see it substantially larger, we are in a much better situation now than in previous decades when the budget was $5 million or so and we had to defeat efforts to slash the budget further or even abolish the agency. We believe it is on sound, permanent footing now, although we need to keep advocating for its regional development activities.

We continue to support USDA hunger and nutrition, rural development and related programs, health care for underserved populations, job creation at good wages, education and workforce development, Delta Heritage tourism and other community and economic development initiatives for the 8-state Delta region.

We will keep you posted and appreciate your longstanding involvement with our grassroots regional network. Lee Powell, Director, Delta Caucus (202) 360-6347
