NCAIED’s annual conference, the Reservation Economic Summit (RES), is the preeminent event to attend for high-caliber networking, winning teaming opportunities, business development sessions, and one-on-one consulting for American Indian enterprise.
In late November, attendees from across the eastern region of North Carolina joined the NCGrowth team in Bertie County. Attendees learned about our projects supporting businesses, communities, and local and Tribal governments including Pamlico County, Enc96radio, the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe, Town of Garysburg, and Slice 325. After lunch, the team and guests toured Indulge Aesthetics, the Cashie Treehouse Village, and the site of a developing park in Bertie County currently known “Tall Glass of Water”.
Leading academics and innovators in the private and public sectors recently convened at the Kenan Institute’s wealth inequality conference which was co-organized by NCGrowth to foster meaningful dialogue about the effects of income disparity and how education and research can create opportunities for more equitable access.
The National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (NCAIED) has pioneered the Native Edge Institute, one-day, in-person events that provide both established and aspiring business owners with critical business training. Through an collaborative partnership between NCGrowth and NCAIED, we have been able to expand these events to new locations across the U.S. This video highlights a recent Native Edge Institute hosted in Norfolk, VA which connected participants to resources available in their region, along with one-on-one business counseling, coaching, and matchmaking services.
