    Workshop Descriptions:

    • How Do Leaders Build Accountability While Setting Employees Up for Success?

      This interactive workshop shows how to set expectations from the time of hire, through an employe’s transition out of the organization. The training follows the employee life cycle, beginning with clear expectations, onboarding, and training. Participants will then explore how coaching, feedback, and recognition support employee performance, strengthen relationships, and encourage growth. The workshop concludes with an introduction to addressing performance and conduct concerns through appropriate discipline and organizational procedures. Through discussion, workplace scenarios, and conversation practice, participants will consider how to support employees. The approach recognizes the relationships, cultural contexts, limited resources, and overlapping responsibilities that can shape leadership in Native nonprofit organizations.

  • Native Nonprofit “Building Community Together” Conference - A Huge Success

    Native Action Network convened a successful nonprofit conference on October 7-9 in Spokane, Washington! This was the first Native nonprofit conference in our state, creating many opportunities to meet and network with emerging nonprofit leaders. Participants representing many regions and Tribes across the state highlighted issues and opportunities at the center of Native nonprofit leadership. We were honored to host Erik Stegman, CEO of Native Americans in Philanthropy. The Conference was held at Northern Quest Casino and Resort, which is owned by the Kalispel Tribe of Indians. While there, we appreciated being hosted for an evening get together by the Camas Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Kalispel Tribe’s language, culture, and heritage.

     

    The Conference was an important part of NAN’s Native Nonprofit Learning Network, funded by the Washington State Office of the Secretary of State.
