Sponsor the Annual Gathering
The Annual Gathering, NWNC’s signature event, is a unique opportunity for members, partners, and the Native business community to network, celebrate, and support the work of NWNC and its Student Academic Award (SA2) program. Each year, The Gathering brings together Tribal representatives, corporate partners, city, county, state & federal government agencies, and community leaders to celebrate the contributions of NWNC members and the Native business community.
