Join the NAFOA and the U.S. Department of the Treasury for an informational session about the successful implementation of the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funding in Tribal Communities.

The allocation of SSBCI Funding to Tribal Nations is a historic investment in Indian Country Economic Development that Tribes previously lacked. Likewise, many questions have emerged regarding funding utilization and tight timelines.

Learn about next steps with SSBCI, how your Tribe can pivot if necessary, and how other Tribes have successfully deployed their SSBCI allocations.

Speakers:

• James Colombe, Policy Advisor, Office of Tribal & Native Affairs at U.S. Department of the Treasury
• Casey Pearlman, Executive Director, Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians Economic Development Corporation
• Jeff Bowman, President & CEO, Bay Bank
• Charlene Robertson, Chief Financial Officer, Tlingit and Haida
