Tribal Enterprise Boards Roles & Responsibilities
Native American communities are beset with growing difficulties. Many cannot be resolved by continuing to do what they have been doing and using the tools they have been using. Traditional leaders and responsible officials want to see their communities prosper. They want to see traditional values be present in the lives of future generations. To succeed they must ensure that they are seeing the issues clearly and understanding all options realistically available.
Historically tribes have waited for federal funding to launch economic and community development projects. Funding has never been enough to maintain steady progress across Indian Country. As a result, Indian communities have fallen further and further behind. Natural population growth and higher expectations exceed increases in revenue from all sources. A key to closing the widening gap in applying the fundamental finance tool of leverage. It can be profitably applied to projects which: (a) can be demonstrated to be feasible and (b) produce a new generation of earning assets.
Who Should Attend?
Tribal elected officials, senior administrators, tribal economic development boards, grant writers, planners, community board members, non-profit organizations, budget, and finance committee members and tribal consultants should take advantage of this opportunity.
What Will I Learn?
Attendees will learn to focus on the real threats to community life represented by deepening poverty and the out-migration of the community’s best and brightest seeking a different future. This seminar is a practical problem-solving experience including how to select projects, recognize applicable financial resources and structuring the projects to make the best use of limited capital. Making these judgments requires learning some new concepts and practicing how to apply them. Attendees will learn the concepts and practice their application through the use of actual issues and opportunities from their community’s life today.
Who Should Attend?
Tribal council members, chartered organizations school boards, health boards, tribal, program directors and managers; tribal grants/contracts staff, finance and accounting staff; tribal attorneys, tribal consultants.
