Over the past nine weeks since the Recovery Act was signed, NCAI has provided a series of webinars and teleconferences on specific provisions of the Act. Now is the time to provide a periodic update on the overall status of the government activities, provide an overview of NCAI resources, and to hear from tribes on your experiences. This webinar will provide tribes and other interested persons the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns, and make recommendations for future webinars and teleconferences. Please join us for this opportunity.
