GL Tribal Economic Summit Sponsorship RSVP Form 1.pdf

Economic development is booming in Indian Country in many sectors, including energy, finance, real estate, infrastructure and agriculture. Join us this September in southwest Michigan for a gathering of tribal leaders, tribal economic development professionals, policymakers, and state and federal officials for the 2nd Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit. 

 

Last October, Tribal Business News with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and Grand Valley State University Seidman College of Business brought together tribal leaders and business leaders with non-Native business leaders. While the focus is on the tribes in the Great Lakes region, attendees last year included individuals from as far away as Oregon, Oklahoma, New York, and Washington, D.C.

 

The second Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit will be held at the Four Winds Casino, owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi in New Buffalo, Michigan. Planning is underway to bring the most up-to-date best business practices in Indian Country for the summit, including a welcome reception on Tuesday, September 19, and an all-day session on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.
