IAIA President Dr. Robert Martin

Dear IAIA Community,

Due to prior government shutdowns impacting our ongoing instruction and services, IAIA has worked with our congressional representatives to have us be “forward-funded.” This means that should the federal government “shut down” as of October 1, we will not experience any disruptions in our ongoing operations. IAIA will continue to operate as usual.

Wado, and have a great weekend,

Robert Martin, EdD (Cherokee Nation)
IAIA President
