SUMMARY:Successful Strategies in Tribal Enterprise Diversification
DESCRIPTION:This Center for Indian Country Development Policy (CICD) webinar will explore how diversification is a critical strategy for tribal economic resilience and stability. It is the second session in a series focused on understanding and addressing the strategic business decisions\, challenges\, and opportunities tribal enterprises face in today’s economic landscape. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nSince time immemorial\, tribal nations have innovated ways to provide for their communities’ well-being and prosperity. By necessity and through the exercise of self-determination\, tribes have successfully created revenue-generating tribal enterprises and corporations. These tribal business entities not only fund the provision of public goods and services but also increase the capacity of tribes to expand and stabilize their economies and communities. As tribal business enterprises grow in capacity\, size\, and diversity\, so does their role as important drivers of economic activity in Indian Country and beyond. \n\n\n\nJoin us to hear from tribal enterprise leaders who will discuss their experiences with diversification as a strategy for achieving long-term stability and economic resilience. Get a glimpse of economic-activity data across Indian Country and recent Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis-CICD research on tribal-business formation. Speakers will: \n\n\n\n\n\nProvide a high-level overview of the scope of tribal enterprise activities across Indian Country.\n\n\n\nShare the unique role tribal enterprises play in employment and revenue production for tribal communities and governments.\n\n\n\nProvide examples of tribal enterprise diversification challenges and successes.\n\n\n\nDemonstrate ways tribal businesses are an economic multiplier in both tribal and regional economies.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew Gregg\, Senior Economist\, CICD\n\n\n\nAnnette Hamilton\, Chief Operating Officer\, Ho-Chunk Inc.\n\n\n\nChris James\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (Moderator)\n\n\n\nChad Klinck\, Chief Financial Officer\, Creek Indian Enterprise Development Authority\n\n\n\nJoe Nayquonabe\, Chief Executive Officer\, Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Connecting Communities: Exploring the Intersection of Health and Economic Equity
DESCRIPTION:Good health enables individuals and families to engage in their social and economic lives. It allows them to contribute and benefit from the economy; although\, the ability to achieve this level of health is not equal for all. Differences in health outcomes exist across many factors\, including economic status\, education\, race and ethnicity\, and geography. Working towards health equity means that every person has the opportunity to attain their full health potential\, and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of their position in society or other socially-determined circumstances. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nAs COVID-19 spread throughout the country\, its impact rippled through all facets of communities and the economy. As a result\, the interdependency between health and the overall economy was made even more evident than it previously was. The pandemic reminds us of the importance of health as we work towards economic equity. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, speakers will focus on the impact of COVID-19\, historical and structural barriers to health equity\, the relationship between health and economic equity\, and practices to encourage equitable health. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nBobby Milstein\, director of system strategy\, ReThink HealthJason Purnell\, vice president of community health improvement\, BJC HealthcareRuth Thomas-Squance\, senior director of field building\, Build Healthy Places NetworkNishesh Chalise\, director of community-based policy and analysis\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, director of special projects and strategic support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (moderator)\n\n\n\n\nPresented by
