Dear Internet Society Friends,

Happy 2018! On the heels of the Internet Society's November Indigenous
Connectivity Summit in Santa Fe--which you helped to make a critical
success--we are thrilled to announce that the New Mexico Chapter of the
Internet Society is holding its first chapter meeting on Thursday, Jan.
25, from 2:30-4:30 at the Santa Fe Indian School at 1501 Cerrillos Road,
Santa Fe, NM 87502 (in the Rotunda room in the Dorm building), and we
hope you can come. _ REGISTER TO ATTEND HERE  [1] __(This event is free
and open to anyone. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to proceed
through the security gate and find the correct building on campus. Also,
please feel free to share this invitation with others)._

THE EVENT WILL BEGIN WITH A PANEL DISCUSSION AMONG KEY PLAYERS IN NEW
MEXICO’S GROWING DIY INTERNET MOVEMENT, AND WILL INCLUDE
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE PUEBLO TRIBAL CONSORTIUM
(COMPRISING THE COCHITI, SAN FELIPE, SANTA ANA AND SANTO DOMINGO
PUEBLOS), THE NAVAJO NATION, AND THE LAGUNA PUEBLO, AMONG OTHERS. These
pueblos are breaking new ground in tribal internet networking, and in
doing so, leading the charge in advancing network connectivity
throughout the state. They will be talking about what they are doing,
how they're doi ng it, and sharing insights and best practices.

The panel discussion, which will include an audience Q&A, will be
followed by a networking hour, so you can meet panel participants and
others who are helping grow the internet ecosystem. The meeting will
also include an update on the chapter's working plans for 2018. If you
have not yet become a member [2] of the chapter, please do so now!
Whether or not you can attend, we would love your help shaping the
chapter's support for New Mexico (you can also connect with us on
Facebook [3] and Twitter [4]).

We hope you can join us on the 25th to help forge New Mexico's digital
future!

Warmest regards,

NEW MEXICO CHAPTER OF THE INTERNET SOCIETY
