amended to address the impacts and needs of the time, or continued for another length of <br />time. <br />• Tribal Nations: This program was developed to be inclusive of tribal nations, so that <br />participants of GreenStep Tribal Nations can also take part in this program. However, while we <br />reached out to GreenStep Tribal Nations contacts, we were unable to engage tribal nation <br />representatives in program development. To best serve GreenStep Tribal Nations participants, <br />tribal representatives should be invited to participate in the program pilot. GreenStep may <br />explore the desire for a separate pilot program for tribal nations in the future. <br />• Expanded Participation: This program was developed for cities and tribal nations but every <br />attempt was made to create a program that could be expanded or adapted in the future to <br />include other participants, such as counties, schools, and regional development commissions. <br />• Funding: While no immediate funding needs have been identified to launch the Gold Leaf <br />program, funding may be useful for hiring additional GreenStep staff capacity, updating the <br />GreenStep website, developing award displays, or passing funds on to program participants to <br />support their efforts. <br />• Guidance: Ample guidance materials and resources are already located under GreenStep best <br />practice actions. However, it may be necessary to consider additional guidance that can more <br />specifically support the Gold Leaf actions listed in Appendix A, as well as explain the Gold Leaf <br />program overall. <br />Gold Leaf Program Proposal I www.MNGreenStep.org 13 <br />Page 65 of 185 <br />
