The Emerging Leaders seminar, held annually in the spring in Tucson, Arizona, features panel presentations that address tough governance challenges, Q&A sessions with current and former Native leaders, and focused discussions on strategic decision-making in Indian Country.
This seminar is designed to help prepare newly elected leaders of Native nations -- and those who aspire to senior governmental positions -- to assume the responsibilities of leadership.
