SUMMARY:NGC Presenting at RES 2026
DESCRIPTION:Native Governance Center will be attending and presenting at the Reservation Economic Summit (RES) from March 23-26\, 2026\, in Las Vegas. Join our session and stop by to visit our booth and say hello!  \nPresentation: Empowering Citizens: Financial Literacy in Tribal Communities \n\nWhen: 10:00 a.m. – 10:50 a.m. PDT\, Thursday\, March 26th\nWhere: Milano Ballroom I at Caesar’s Palace\nSession Description: Financial literacy is a cornerstone of strong governance\, civic engagement\, and empowered citizens. Nearly all Native nations have boards\, commissions\, and governmental positions where financial knowledge is essential for effective decision-making and accountability. When community members and tribal government employees have tools to understand financial documents and principles\, they’re better equipped to provide meaningful engagement\, feedback\, and oversight. Financial literacy helps shift from having transparency to true accountability. Ultimately\, strengthening self-determination and effective governance. Using case studies from Native nations with successful financial literacy programs\, we’ll share key strategies\, challenges\, and culturally grounded approaches to community financial education.\n\n
