Program Structure

Each nation may select up to five participants, including elected officials, finance department leadership, and other relevant staff. We’d like to see nations choose a diverse team and include both elected leaders and staff.

We’re asking participating nations to commit to:

• Passing a Tribal Resolution in support of participating
• Sharing financial data for the initial assessments* (to be kept confidential)
• Participating in the full two-year program, including attendance at all convenings
• Sharing your experience with peers
• Ensuring all participants are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before in-person convenings

*Our financial assessments help participants identify the current state of their nation’s financial systems and their vision for the future of these systems. They also assist them in identifying needs to address during the program.

Native Governance Center will cover all costs related to convening lodging, meals, and supplies for program participants.
