Falmouth Training now Online -- This Month: Indian Preference

Falmouth Institute is launching an online training program this month with a seminar on Indian Preference.  The first seminar is scheduled for February 19, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST. It will be repeated on February 24, 1 to 2 p.m. EST and Feburary 26, 3 to 4 p.m. EST. 

With all the federal stimulus money that is expected to be available for construction in Indian Country, an understanding of Indian preference is particularly important. There are several laws and regulations that give tribes preference in contracting. Even when the tribe is not the prime contractor, in some instances prime contrators must comply with federal and tribal preference laws. Make sure you know your rights as a tribal official, a tribal employers or a federal employer.
 
Help us plan our next online seminar! Please let us know what types of training you would take online and we'll do our best to offer it as soon as possible.
