Travois staff attended the AMERIND Risk | NAIHC Annual Convention and Tradeshow this week. It was a busy and beautiful week in Hawaii! We enjoyed seeing so many friends at our conference booth and are always excited to meet new friends too.

AMERIND Risk promotes fire safety every year through an annual poster contest, and you can help select the winners!

Nashville was fun! We really enjoyed our time with each and every one of you at the 16th Annual Travois Conference. As in past years, we like to summarize our week on the blog.

We can’t wait to see everyone in Nashville next month! It’s going to be a fun few days. I’ll give you more details about what you’ve signed up for.

We are so excited that our very own Kellie Burke and her family were featured in the local news last week.

Last Friday was a delectable day for everyone at the Travois office. It was bake-off day!
As you may have read in past blogs (Take your can to work day, A dinner with a special guest, and Chili cook-off), we are always up for tasty food and friendly competition.

Last year’s 20th Anniversary Superhero Award ceremony was great. We were able to honor wonderful people who better their communities through their work in housing and economic development.

Multimedia artist Wendy Red Star (Crow) recently visited Kansas City to celebrate the opening of her exhibition “Parading Culture (Tokens, Gold & Glory)” at local gallery Haw Contemporary. It can be seen through Feb. 27.

It’s been a great anniversary year celebrating 20 years in business and $1 billion of investment in American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities.
