Earlier this week, CNB leadership joined tribal leaders from across Oklahoma and beyond at the OSU Spears Tribal Summit — an important gathering focused on the key issues shaping the future of tribal governments and businesses. Our own Ben Blosch, Chief Investment Officer; Tim Roberts, VP of Corporate Strategy; and Adrian Sinclair, Plant General Manager of 1839 Cherokee Meat Co., led panels to share insights on business growth, economic sustainability, and agricultural and food sovereignty within the Cherokee Nation Reservation. A big thank you to Spears School of Business - Oklahoma State University and the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) for hosting this event and creating space for impactful discussions that drive progress for tribal nations.
