“If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.”
That sentiment guides Native CDFI Network CEO Pete Upton as he works to support Native community development financial institutions (CDFIs), advocating for policy and funding to elevate economic development across Indian Country. Upton always works to make sure Native CDFIs have a seat at the table when decisions are being made that affect Native communities.
As we approach the halfway mark of the Difference Makers 2.0 season, Upton sat down with podcast host Elyse Wild to discuss how Native CDFIs are helping small businesses and creating opportunities for Native communities. They also share some of their favorite stories from the podcast episodes so far and how NCN champions Indian Country’s voice, ensuring Native communities always have a seat at the table.
