Networks
When one Nation solves a problem, the Network is how that solution reaches everyone else.
Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council hosts five networks that bring together Member Nation staff in similar roles — to share knowledge, build relationships, reduce duplication, and work through challenges together. These are not just meetings. They are spaces where the collective intelligence of the Nations moves freely across communities.
CAO Network
The CAO Network is an internal information sharing group comprised of Member Nation Administrators, their support staff, and Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council staff. We hold quarterly virtual meetings to discuss ongoing priorities within Member Nations, and host an annual in-person meeting for a full day of information sharing and training.
CAO Network meetings offer space for Member Nation Administrators to:
- Identify priority needs from Member Services
- Provide feedback to ensure that Member Services offers relevant and impactful programs of collaborative benefit that realize efficiency and economies of scale
- Cultivate strong working relationships across Nations and organizations through the ongoing sharing of best practices and resources
For questions about the CAO Network, please contact: Hwum’mi’ya Mikaela Craig, Executive Director of Member Services
Finance Network
The Finance Network brings together Member Nation Finance Managers to discuss ongoing financial priorities, and share successes, knowledge, and skills on a variety of topics. These quarterly meetings offer Finance Managers:
- A collaborative space to brainstorm through challenges, and encourage and uplift one another in their work
- Identify priority areas of support from NmTC’s Finance Team
- Build strong working relationships across Nations and organizations through the sharing of best practices and resources

Community Food Network
The Community Food Network nurtures relationships between Member Nations and provides a collective space to share knowledge, develop ideas, work through challenges, celebrate, uplift one another, and grow. The Network hosts regular meetings, workshops, and webinars, and develops learning opportunities in various formats — including toolkits, videos, and hands-on training.

Housing Managers Network
The Housing Managers Network offers a forum for Nation housing managers to foster relationships and support one another on housing management issues. The objectives of this network are to:
- Share information and best practices
- Identify and prioritize issues
- Collaborate on initiatives
- Provide feedback and recommendations on housing policies and procedures
- Identify opportunities for training and professional development related to housing management

The Network hosts virtual quarterly meetings and an annual in-person gathering.
