Staff also served on a steering committee to guide the community health needs assessment conducted by San Juan Basin Public Health. 28008 21000 The Local Self-Reliance Program includes working with the Local First Independent Business Alliance to sponsor campaigns that raise public awareness of the value of participating in the local circular economy and of adopting sustainable business practices.
