From the CEO's Desk:

Greetings Native BIZ Network, Owners and Business Professionals,

Despite the down turn of the national economy, NCIEDI spent the summer stepping up our efforts cultivating business and professional relationships that generated a comprehensive list of supplier's and contract opportunities for American Indian businesses in NC.

As American Indian business owners and professionals, you are the most important prospect for local, state and tribal business development slated in the economic forecast. 

Because NCIEDI wants to continue to support and ensure your viability in demanding markets, while addressing economic development needs of tribal communities statewide, we have begun our Native Round Table Discussion series devoted to topics in economic development. Please review our calendar of events for when we will be in your community. We look forward to your participation in helping shape the tribal perspective of the economic recovery in NC.

W. A. Tony Hayes
