NNAHRA and Drummond Woodsum have joined forces to provide Tribal Human Resource Professional (THRP) training to HR Professionals in Indian Country. This 3-1/2 day course provides HR Professionals with the practical knowledge and skills they need to handle the unique employment challenges facing tribal governments and their enterprises.
Participants will learn and apply employment laws, with a specific emphasis on protecting sovereignty. Topics will focus on issues HR Professionals grapple with every day, including discrimination, wage and hour issues, employee discipline, investigations, evaluations, leaves of absence, union activity, Indian Preference, and more. The course includes interactive exercises to reinforce learning and help participants gain confidence in navigating complex employment issues. Participants who successfully complete the final exam receive the NNAHRA Tribal Human Resources Professional Certification. Join over 1,000 of your fellow HR Professionals who already hold the THRP certification, which is widely recognized as the essential HR credential in Indian Country.

We understand that plans change. If you find you can no longer attend a program, please contact Adriana Grimes at agrimes@dwmlaw.com or 800.727.1941 Ext. 232.
Cancellations occurring 10 or more business days prior to the event will be eligible for a full refund, less a $50.00 processing fee.
Any cancellation received within 10 business days of the training will not be eligible for a refund; however, you will have a choice between the following options:
1 . Transferring your registration to a colleague; or
2. Transferring your registration to the next immediate THRP training on the calendar (registration availability permitting). Transferring your registration to future trainings beyond the next immediate scheduled, will not be permitted.
*Please note: If you effectively register for an event, and do not attend the event (no-show), you will still be required to pay the registration fee. No-shows do not exempt participants from payment, as registration secures a spot and commits the organizer to non-recoverable expenses on the participant’s behalf.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule an event for any reason, including inclement weather. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, those who have registered for the event will be offered a choice between (a) a full refund, or (b) a credit for a future training.
