A One-Day Workshop for Tribal Leaders
Building a Leadership Model in Employment and the Role of HR in Assessing, Creating, and Ensuring Leadership’s Vision for Employment
There are many roads to effective Tribal leadership in employment, and while each Tribe defines for itself what is effective, over the last 30 years we have listened and learned from the Tribes we work with and we want to share what we have learned from them and our experience about the common factors that tend to define effective Tribal Leadership in employment and the role Human Resource Departments play in that exercise of leadership. In essence, we hope to share a system for assessing or building an effective employment leadership model and how to successfully utilize Human Resource Departments in that model.
While employment is only one area of leadership, it is essential to ensuring good government, the provision of effective social services, the creation of resources to support Tribes, and the welfare of Tribal citizens. Being able to attract, retain, and train employees is essential for the maintenance and growth of Tribes. In essence, it is crucial to effective leadership, and it is one of the hardest areas in which to lead.
This one-day workshop will review the authority Tribal leadership has over employment, and the role of Tribal leadership and HR in assessing/establishing goals for employment, reviewing/creating effective HR rules which carry out leadership’s goals, and the challenge of leadership to follow its own rules that may limit its own authority. While there are no absolute answers to these issues, we hope to share what we have found to be effective tools to be a highly functional employer, and how to assess effectiveness in employment systems.

Payment
Payment is due in full 2 weeks prior to the start of the training. If payment is not received in full, your registration ticket will be forfeited (with notice) so that another individual may register for the training.
Cancellations
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.
If you have questions regarding this policy, please call Adriana Grimes at 800.727.1941 Ext. 232.
This course qualifies for THRP credit hours.
