Please join all of us at NTAA in welcoming Carol Kriebs as the new NTAA Chairwoman!
Chairwoman Carol A. Kriebs is also the Environmental Director for the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho in Region 10 and has been working in Tribal Air Quality for eight years. For those eight years Carol has been an NTAA Executive Committee representative for Region 7 Tribes and then in 2018 relocated to the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho. In 2019, Carol was voted and honored to represent Region 10 Tribes as their NTAA Executive Committee representative.
Chairwoman Kriebs commented that even though leadership has changed, NTAA’s message is still to help empower Tribes to protect and enhance air quality for everyone. She is replacing Wilfred J. Nabahe as the outgoing Chairman. Congratulations Carol!
