NA250 is cross-listed as ML251 within the Nonprofit Management & Leadership learning area. Register under ML251.

Is your organization planning to partner with a Native community or organization? Do you have a Native community in your service area that you would like to serve? Would partnering with a Native organization fit and support the mission of your organization? In this two-day course, we will examine the ingredients necessary to create successful partnerships in Indian Country. We will begin by looking at culture, the differences between Western and Native cultures, and the impact of these differences on partnerships. We will take an in-depth look at the history of Native America, sovereignty and federal trust relationships, and Native economies. On the second day of training, we will learn a step-by step process to develop an actual partnership. This process will include learning about the potential partner community, developing internal capacity, and conducting effective outreach. By the end of the training, we will develop draft partnership plans that are tailored to participants’ specific situations.
