Hello Dianne,
Thank you for your message and for reaching out with your questions. Please do not include him on the website with other featured speakers or in any publications at this time. As I mentioned previously, he will most likely be able to participate in March but it's too early to definitively confirm.
I've copied Millan Hupp, Director of Scheduling/Advance and Tate Bennett, Associate Administrator for Public Engagement on this message. As the event approaches and we're able to confirm, they can set up a call with you to discuss the information below and overall logistics for the event.
Thank you!

Bio: On February 17, 2017, the United States Senate confirmed Scott Pruitt as the 14th Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Administrator Pruitt believes that promoting and protecting a strong and healthy environment is among the lifeblood priorities of the government, and that EPA is vital to that mission. As Administrator, Mr. Pruitt's overarching goal is to lead EPA in a way so that our future generations inherit a better and healthier environment, as he works with the thousands of dedicated public servants at EPA who have devoted their careers to helping realize this shared vision, while faithfully administering environmental laws.
Most recently, Administrator Pruitt served as the Attorney General for Oklahoma. Almost immediately upon taking office, he worked with his Democratic counterpart in Arkansas to reach agreement to study the water quality of the Illinois River, which crosses the border between the two states and has been enjoyed by generations of Oklahomans. The Statement of Joint Principles provides for a best science study using EPA-approved methods, with both states agreeing, for the first time, to be bound by the outcome.
Also during his tenure as Oklahoma's Attorney General, Mr. Pruitt led an historic water rights settlement between Oklahoma, Oklahoma City and the Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribal Nations that preserved the ecosystems of scenic lakes and rivers on native lands. The agreement, which required Congressional approval, was enacted into Section 3608 of Public Law 114-322 and signed in December 2016. It provides a framework that fosters intergovernmental collaboration on significant water resource concerns with the settlement area, while at the same time protecting existing water rights and affirming the state's role in water rights permitting and administration.
Water settlement cases can be lengthy, costly, divisive and disruptive; however under Pruitt's forward-thinking leadership, the process was hailed by all parties as one of commitment, hard work, perseverance and cooperation. Administrator Pruitt became a national leader through a career of advocating to keep power in the hands of hard-working Americans. He has a proven track record of working with others -including industry, farmers, ranchers, landowners and small business owners - who want to do the right thing by the environment.

He has dedicated his career to creating policy that serves the people. He strongly believes that environmental law, policy and progress are all based on cooperation between the states, cooperation between the states and EPA, and cooperation between regulators and the public. As Attorney General for Oklahoma, he led the state's legal challenges against property rights intrusion, while protecting Oklahoma's natural resources and environment.
He is recognized as a national leader in the cause to restore the proper balance between the states and federal government, and he established Oklahoma's first federalism unit to combat unwarranted regulation and overreach by the federal government.
