What are the funding priorities for our elected leaders?
What input do our leaders need from the Navajo business community?
What are the challenges community and elected leaders face in delivering support to Navajo businesses and artisans?

Join Change Labs and the Navajo Nation Division of Economic Development for an important dialogue between Navajo business owners, elected leaders, and government officials on how COVID-19 has impacted the business environment on the Navajo Nation.

This dialogue is focused on ARPA funding priorities and will take into account the previous dialogues on Navajo tourism, food & hospitality businesses, artisans, and professional service providers. We'll give a brief overview of the research conducted by Change Labs, Causal Design, and Navajo DED on the economic impact of COVID-19 on Navajo small businesses and then hear directly from our leaders on their answers to the questions above. There will be time for questions from the audience as well as time to hear your thoughts and ideas on how Navajo American Rescue Plan funding could be used to support the Navajo business community.
