Tribal Leaders & Business Executives Roundtable: How Effective Leadership, Successful Economic Development and Diversification Can Play a Crucial Role in the Health and Wellbeing of Tribal Members

It is crucial to plan towards a progressive, diversified portfolio that allows tribes to spread the risk and development business ventures that will translate into jobs and economic security not only for tribal governments but also for their tribal members. We will feature leaders from successful gaming and non-gaming tribes who also operate franchise restaurants, sustainable energy resources, manufacturing, office digital solutions business, agriculture hospitality, printing, marketing, construction management, IT, personnel services, telecommunications, healthcare, waste management as well as security and defense industries to name a few. All of which provide sustainable, non-gaming revenue and opportunity to their tribal membership. What was the process? What are some of the hurdles faced? Tribal laws, regulations, qualified workforce and land use all come into play, not to mention financial resources. The importance of a complimentary and consistent revenue streams beyond traditional business. We will hear firsthand how these businesses have been created and why. Why building a partnership between Tribal Council, CEO/Executive Director’s, CFO and HR department is critical for the success of the overall operation and therefore success of the tribe. Today’s leaders will share what they think tomorrow’s leaders need to know to adapt to changing economic and environmental conditions to preserve and grow their ventures so future generations can continue to thrive.

Few things will drive your success more than winning the loyalty of your patients, their family members and your community. Loyal customers trust you, use your services, speak well of you, refer others and work with you as partners.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents are 30% more likely to be obese and adults are 50% more likely to be obese than non-Hispanic whites. Is your community or enterprise promoting physical activity and coming up with innovative ways to promote wellness and get all generations involved? 46.4% of American Indian adults 18 and over do not meet federal physical activity guidelines. What environmental factors contribute to the health of American Indians/Alaska Natives?

Healthcare entities are right in the cross hairs for cyber exposures. Such exposures are no longer limited to identity theft and loss of Protected Healthcare Information but go much further. Exploits can cripple an entity from operating or even risk the livelihood of the patients you care for. Address the “Spectrum of Risk” often associated to these exploits and how to put your organization in the best defensible position possible from both a preparedness as well as a response prospective.

Mental Health & the Opioid Crisis: The Impact on Native American Communities & Recommended Steps
Native Americans have the highest suicide rates of any other population group in the U.S. This panel will focus on understanding mental health and address common causes that lead to the feeling of hopelessness. Native Americans experience serious psychological distress 1.5 times more than the general population and PTSD more than twice as often as the general population. It’s important to start talking about mental health and discover how we can decrease stigma in our workplaces that often deters people from seeking help. What awareness and education programs exist that can help community members understand mental health and help decrease suicide rates? How is the opioid epidemic affecting your people? The current opioid-related overdose death rate is 13.7 deaths per 100,000 Native Americans, which exceeds the national rate of 13.1 per 100,000. What mental health resources and opioid treatment centers are available in your communities? Discuss the burn out of mental health counselors and addiction treatment professionals.

Getting Real About Stigma Prevention (G.R.A.S.P): A Statewide Community-Driven Campaign to Eliminate HCV Stigma Among Urban Indians
In order to begin to address the Hepatitis C Virus in tribal and Urban communities, we need to increase visibility of HCV and eliminate the stigmatization associated with the disease. The high mortality rate of Urban AI/AN with HCV reflects the consequence of stigma and lack of awareness in the Urban Indian community, and GRASP will explore ways to eliminate stigma by fostering awareness, encouraging prevention and supporting harm reduction strategies. The concept of Getting Real About Stigma Prevention (GRASP) is to be an example of a best practice model that will inform the Urban Indian community on the efforts to eliminate stigma through difficult conversations (talking circles). California Consortium for Urban Indian Health (CCUIH) will share the concepts from the talking circles and the stigma survey that was used to develop a public awareness and stigma reduction campaign. The multifaceted campaign utilized print, media, and electronic materials to be used for outreach, education and understanding about HCV stigma.
