Native Women’s Leadership Report

The Native Women’s Leadership Report was initiated by Native Action Network as a first-of-its- kind data collection effort to learn about the leadership goals and interests of Native women throughout the state of Washington, the barriers they face in pursuing these goals, and the types of supports that are most needed to foster their leadership careers. It also sought to learn from Native women currently acting in leadership positions, and to create connections between Native women peers, mentors, and mentees. Leadership positions of interest were not limited to publicly elected office but also included tribal leadership, appointed office, business leadership, nonprofit leadership, and official or unofficial community leadership.

Native Nonprofit Learning Series

The Native Nonprofit Learning Series conducted by Native Action Network contributed to capacity building for Tribal and Native nonprofits. Based on survey responses and in-person meetings held throughout the state, the Native Nonprofit Learning Series contributed significantly to increased confidence in operating a nonprofit and greater compliance with Washington State laws. The Learning Series also facilitated growing relationships that continue to foster a sharing of resources beyond the program deliverables. Participants were overwhelmingly positive about their experiences in the Learning Series and eagerly anticipate more and expanded offerings.
