NNI "Emerging Leaders" Seminar, November 6-7, 2013

Convened by the Native Nations Institute (NNI) on November 6-7, 2013 in Tucson, Arizona, NNI's annual "Emerging Leaders" executive education seminar explores the realities of tribal governance and the critical roles that leaders play in ensuring that their nations govern effectively. Developed specifically for newly elected and aspiring leaders of Native nations, this comprehensive seminar provides attendees practical knowledge and tools to help them meet the fundamental challenges of leadership, from developing the nation’s political and legal infrastructures to mobilizing their constituents to play an active role in building a strong, sustainable nation. Specialized, intensive sessions on key governance topics prepare seminar participants to begin the process of building their personal blueprints for leadership success.
