CEO Jon Deacon Panamaroff, co-chair of the Native American Contractors Association, took part in the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs’ hearing on the Small Business Administration’s Native 8(a) Business Development Program.
This session, focused on strengthening economic opportunities and oversight of the 8(a) program, brought tribal business leaders and federal policymakers together to discuss how to support Native-owned enterprises and ensure tribal economies thrive.
We are helping to shape the dialogue on advancing economic self-determination and business growth for tribal communities.
