When
With a focus on Nation Building principles – sovereignty, capable governing institutions, cultural match, strategic orientation, and public-spirited leadership – members of NNI’s Tribal Professional Cohort will explore how to strengthen these critical elements of their nation as they work to lead change in their communities.
The NNI TPC program was created in 2016 to respond to the realities, challenges, and opportunities of Tribal Professionals serving Native communities. It aims to deepen participants' commitment to growth, innovation, and networking. Participants will strengthen their leadership skills, build their advocacy skills, cultivate a network of Tribal professionals who support each other's career growth - all while advancing their own professional, personal, and political capacity to tackle community challenges.
The NNI TPC program is a year-long experience, starting in December every year and culminating the following November.
Participation includes registration in 3 JIT 2026 courses as well as quarterly virtual seminars.
