2024 Tribal Best Practices Conference

2024 Tribal Best Practices Conference

The 2024 USET Tribal Best Practices Conference took place in Nashville, TN, from August 13-15, 2024, under the theme "The Braided Path: Weaving together Wisdom, Innovation, and Community."

USET member Tribal Nations have cared for their communities and environments since time immemorial. This wisdom and these invaluable best practices have been passed down through the generations fostering a unique relationship among each other and all living things. This advances a deep connection with the environment, providing holistic health approaches, and cultivates sustainable economic development.

USET presented a first-of-its-kind, integrated approach for best practice discussions through the programmatic lens of USET Offices of Environmental Resource Management, Economic Development, and Tribal Public Health. The Tribal Best Practices Conference hosted learning sessions for Tribal Leadership and staff to engage in a collaborative setting to share knowledge, wisdom, and innovation to enhance our collective strength and impact.

USET Tribal Best Practices Conference goals included:

  1. To provide collaborative spaces for USET member Tribal Nation Leaders and staff to share knowledge, skills, resources, and fortify relationships.
  2. To promote USET foundational pillars, which support USET member Tribal Nations in strengthening communities of practice.
  3. To provide innovative support service through cross-sectional tracks.
  4. To ensure the health, well-being, and self-determination of present and future generations.
