EVENT
Alaska will soon receive an unprecedented amount of funding.
The Alaska Tribal Administrators Association and the Alaska Native Village Corporation Association are excited to bring Tribes and Village Corporations together to collaborate and strengthen their relationships.
Join us for this informative three day event in Anchorage, Alaska.
You'll hear from Indigenous leaders and subject matter experts and panelists from around the state and Washington, DC to discuss and answer questions on statewide funding and opportunies for rural Alaska communities. We'll share best practices for effective governance and operations and strengthening the relationship between Tribes and Village Corporations.
The combined conference aims to provide a platform for participants to network, learn about the latest trends in governance, Alaska resources, funding, operations, partnerships, business development, and administration.

Our speakers come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the symposium. Join Indigenous leaders and subject matter experts to hear updates and insights on issues relative to rural Alaska communities, Tribes and Village Corporations, as well as best practices and examples of collaborative efforts between ANCs and Tribes.
