Leadership, initiative, dedication. Those are the three words inscribed on the National Center for American Indian Economic Development’s 40 Under 40 badge. The organization is celebrating this year’s inductees who exemplify those qualities, including the Yup’ik, Global Director of the Nature Conservancy, the Choctaw executive at Microsoft, and the Lakota legislative assistant for U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer. We’ll hear from members of this year’s class of 40 inspiring Native leaders under the age of 40.
Guests:
Stacia Morfin [Nimiipuu (Nez Perce)] – chief executive officer of Nez Perce Tourism, LLC
Brian Tanner (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes / Rocky Boy Cree) – Director of Development, Potlatch Fund
