Native American Finance Officers Association (NAFOA) began as a gathering of Tribal financial professionals focused on developing the policies and procedures necessary for Tribal success. Since then, their mission has expanded to spotlight the vital role of Tribal finance in fostering economic opportunity and to support growing Tribal economies through sound economic and fiscal policy, innovative training programs, and forward-thinking leadership.
