Native American - Native Alaskan Human Resource Management
NHRMA is very excited to present, for the first time in NHRMA conference history, a workshop track devoted to HR within the Native American community. NA tribes and tribal organizations, as well as non-Native employers who hire Native employees, face very unique HR issues, and we will be addressing some of those issues in our NA workshop track. Many of the workshops are also applicable to the non-Native community as well.
