This week, I am so excited to welcome you to a newly updated newsletter!
In this issue, you’ll find resources from agencies, our ongoing Small Business Spotlight and more about what our Nevada agencies do in a new section we’re calling “Getting to Know Your State Government”!
This week, I got to visit Nevadans across the State, hear about different resources available and say thank you to many for their services they provide to communities.
I joined a group of folks at Beverly S. Mathis Elementary School as music teacher Ali Jun was awarded a $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation to celebrate her success and achievement as a teacher. I am so grateful for all our teachers, and even as we come to the end of Teacher Appreciation Week in Nevada, I urge all of us to continue to show our support for our hard-working and fantastic educators.
Wednesday, the State held a Small Business Resource Fair at the West Sahara Library in Las Vegas. More than 50 government and non-profit exhibitors offered free resources and information to small business owners. These small businesses are what makes Nevada so special and keeps our economy strong.
Later in the week, I joined Nevada’s 2022 Wildland Fire Briefing in Northern Nevada alongside dozens of fire response and natural resource officials to discuss what needs to be done to protect Nevada from wildfires and the impacts. Most fires are caused by people, and I want to emphasize that everyone has a role in protecting Nevada from wildfire destruction. Learn more how to prepare for wildfire, air quality issues and extreme heat impacts by following these guidelines:
Finally, I was honored to pay tribute to fallen law enforcement officers at the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and the Peace Officer Memorial in Northern Nevada. We pay tribute to the officers who laid down their life for our safety, and thank the officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect us.
Thank you,
Governor Sisolak
