In collaboration with Harvard Business School, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) offers the Leading Tribal Nations Program, designed to equip Tribal leaders with the knowledge and skills to advance their strategic governance capacity. During the five-day program, Tribal leaders will engage in collaborative learning and problem-solving through the case-study model facilitated on the Harvard Business School campus.
Dates: December 6-11, 2026
Cost: $3,500 per participant, which includes lodging at Harvard Business School, meals, and amenities on all participant days. It does not include airfare or lodging before or after the program ends.
The program is designed for elected Tribal leaders. Non-elected leaders and Tribal professionals may apply, but elected Tribal leaders in good standing will receive preference.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
The priority application deadline is Thursday, October 1, 2026.
