NAIA is governed by a Board of Directors elected by members of the organization. The Board sets the policies for the agency, oversees the functions of management, establishes long-range plans for the agency, and acts as an advocate for the needs of the Indian people of Tennessee.
The overall operations of NAIA are managed by an Executive Director. This management structure is an efficient and responsive system of operations that enables the organization to manage many projects, programs, services, and Indian initiatives.
NAIA is supported by our staff members that carry out our mission daily. The staff supports our WIOA programs and Art & Culture Education Programs. The supervisory staff have extensive education, training, and experience in their respective areas of responsibility.
