Bryant Kuechle Contributes to Regional Collaboration at 2026 Environmental Conference
April 23, 2026

Yesterday, Bryant Kuechle, TLG Practice Area Leader, represented J-U-B at the 2026 Idaho Collaboration Summit, co-hosted by the McClure Center for Public Policy Research at the University of Idaho and the Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State University. The event brought together regional leaders to discuss environmental challenges, with a strong emphasis on wildfire resilience, collaboration, and working across agencies.

Bryant co-organized the event, and facilitated learning sessions focused on building collaboration capacity, sharing strategies and tools to help organizations work more effectively across jurisdictions. This topic continues to be especially relevant as wildfire challenges grow across the western U.S. and in many of the communities J-U-B serves.

Thanks to his ongoing service on the McClure Center Advisory Board since 2018, J-U-B and TLG continue to stay closely connected with universities in the regions we serve. Additionally, Bryant brings both professional and personal experience to wildfire-related collaboration, having previously fought wildfires with the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho and leading wildfire collaboration initiatives in Oregon and Idaho.

We appreciate Bryant’s leadership and his continued efforts to strengthen collaboration and resilience across the western U.S. through both his professional practice and service to partner institutions.
