owned businesses interested in the 8(a) program
TULSA, Okla. – Cherokee Nation

sion of Cherokee Nation Businesses, is
partnering with the U.S. Small Business

The workshops provide valuable

jobs and building a strong economy. This
will allow us to play a vital role as mentors
and educators across Indian Country as
we continue to nurture and grow Tribally
owned businesses.”
Working with the SBA’s Office of
Native American Affairs, CNTS created
curriculum focused on business develop-
ment and the unique rules and consider-
ations of the 8(a) program.
The sessions address the many chal-
lenges faced by Native businesses and
offer operational and leadership strate-
gies to build capacity, foster growth and
expansion, and ensure sustainability.
CNTS also provides technical assistance
to participating organizations.
“Our diversified businesses have
experienced tremendous growth and
success over the past few years,” said
Steven Bilby, president of CNB’s diversi-
fied businesses. “We are honored to have
the opportunity to work with the SBA
to share our knowledge and passion so
that all Native companies have the sup-
port they need to achieve success in their
marketplace.”
