The 2021 National Training Program

The 2023 National Training Program

Celebrating 20 Years

of Respect, Culture and Tradition

SAIGE was founded in 2002 and is proud to celebrate our 20th anniversary at the 2022 Annual National Training Program held June 21-23, 2022, via Zoom. The cost for the three days is $415 and you can register by May 20 to catch the early bird price of $375!

​
​

Hosted Virtually

Our program provides professional training sessions related to Federal Indian Law/ Indian Country, EEO/HR and Diversity issues, Professional Development, and Cultural and Natural Resources on a virtual platform. These sessions are offered on the first two days of the event, June 21-22, while the final day is the Warrior Society program.

 

The virtual format allows more individuals to attend training without the normal costs of travel, lodging and food. These cost savings are significant for federal agencies and other employers. Additionally, a lower registration fee this year should encourage employers to approve many more participants to attend.

​

​

Partners and Exhibitors

SAIGE has a unique opportunity to reach a large number of people this year. Your agency or organization can enjoy increased visibility that will help you to reach your Diversity and Inclusion goals by participating. Your support as a partner or an exhibitor can provide you with interactions that will assist you in your future hiring needs. Your support of SAIGE allows us to continue our programs and mission.
