The Northwest Native Chamber thrives on the following pillars of service: Education & Growth, Building Relationships, and Economic Justice & Transformation. The Gathering is an amalgamation of all of these pillars.

Our Student Academic Achievement Awards, a non-scholarship direct financial assistance award that supports our Native students academic pursuits based on academic excellence and engagement in community occurs during our event programming, centering our first pillar of service.

Each year, The Gathering brings together Tribal representatives, corporate partners, city, county, state & federal government agencies, and community leaders to celebrate the contributions of NWNC members and the Native business community.

This year we will be featuring Chef Jack Strong (Siletz) who will be supported by Vibrant Table Catering & Events. This food will be sourced from some of our Farming and Agricultural clients.

We will be featuring upcoming fashion designers throughout the evening.

All of this will be wrapped up with a performance by The Snotty Nose Rez Kids at 8:30.

Reserve a ticket today to join us in celebration of our expansion to Washington and Idaho, and to celebrate the successes of NWNC in 2023!
