CIRI receives national minority procurement award

CIRI was awarded the “Alaska Native Corporation of the Year” award from the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (NCAIED), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to developing Native American economic self-sufficiency.

The conference brings together Native American suppliers and firms with federal, state and corporate contracting officers or buyers, as well as holding workshops and seminars on contracting and procurement topics.
