A Message From
Derek Valdo, CEO
T
hank you for your overwhelming support in
attending the 2015 AMERIND Risk | National
American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC)
Convention & Tradeshow. The successful annual
convention in May had almost 700 attendees and
50 vendor booths. General session attendees heard from President and
CEO of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development,
Gary “Litefoot” Davis. His message encouraged attendees to remember the
importance of keeping dollars in Indian Country for economic development
and sustainability. The Principal Deputy Secretary for the Office of Public
and Indian Housing, Lourdes Castro Ramirez, addressed Indian Country and
stated her commitment to communication with Tribal professionals. Another
highlight was the presentation of a $200,000 check from our Chairman, Phil
Bush, and our Board of Directors, to NAIHC for advocacy, continued support,
community development, infrastructure and housing.
The trainings were highly attended and we received positive feedback from
attendees. We will be joining forces again and hosting a collaborative annual
convention with NAIHC in early May of 2016 in Hawaii. We will continue to
keep you updated for the annual convention, and our 30th anniversary!
The 2015 AMERIND Institute is now open for registration. It will be held
October 6-8, 2015 during the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival.
This will be another great opportunity for Indian Country to take part in Tribal
specific trainings, which will benefit their communities. The meeting venue will
be the Isleta Resort & Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 10 miles south
of the Albuquerque International Airport. This annual educational forum will
provide professional development, training, and networking opportunities for
Tribal leaders and business professionals in Indian Country. The 2015 Institute
provides an ideal forum to stimulate ideas, collaborate, and continue to work
together for our common cause of - Tribes Protecting Tribes.
We appreciate your commitment to AMERIND Risk and look forward to
seeing you at the upcoming 2015 Institute and our annual convention in May
of 2016!
