NAFOA'S
30th Anniversary Conference
March 20-21, 2012
The Roosevelt Hotel
New Orleans, LA
The Native American Finance Officers Association builds the financial strength of tribal governments and their enterprises by providing educational forums and resources, and by instilling finance and accounting best practices. We are a national not-for-profit organization with members in positions such as tribal finance officers, controllers, treasurers, accountants, auditors, financial advisors, tribal leaders, and more.
NAFOA is unique because we focus solely on the financial success of tribal entities. We provide a central source for the latest in financial management information and professional idea sharing. Through our network, members connect with experts in various financial areas, specifically as they apply to tribal governments and organizations.
We believe that sound financial management strengthens tribal governments and organizations. This creates strong Native American communities now and for generations to come.

NAFOA is interested in promoting and supporting Native American artists. We are seeking artist submissions for our upcoming conference.

"Tribal Business Structure Handbook" (2009 ed.) © Karen J. Atkinson and Kathleen M. Nilles, All rights reserved.
This guide is a comprehensive resource on the formation of tribal business entities. Hailed in Indian Country Today as offering "one-stop knowledge on business structuring," the Handbook reviews each type of tribal business entity currently in use from the perspective of sovereign immunity and legal liability, corporate formation and governance, federal tax consequences and eligibility for special financing. It covers governmental entities (e.g., instrumentalities, political subdivisions and section 17 corporations) as well as the more common business forms (corporations, partnerships and LLCs). Clearly and simply written, it will be useful to a wide range of users, including: Tribal Council members, Tribal enterprise directors and executives, Finance officers, Tribal legal counsel, and those entering into business or lending relationships with Tribal governments. |
