Board of Directors

The NUIFC is continuing to evolve and grow under the leadership and guidance of the board of directors, which was once its “Steering Committee” before it formally incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. The board of directors is intentionally comprised of Executive Directors and representatives from Urban Indian organizations.
