Dear USET/USET SPF family,

In response to requests from member Tribal Nations, USET’s Office of Economic Development is building a central Repository of Forms, Policies, and Templates—a practical resource to streamline operations, increase transparency, and support consistency across programs and teams.

This effort is deeply rooted in USET’s commitment to “strength in unity” and the power of intertribal collaboration. The Repository will share tools, practices, and policies that honor unique approaches while advancing your collective capacity. Aligned with our long-term strategic roadmap pillars, this initiative is an opportunity to lead through contribution and lift up resources that work.

Here’s How You Can Contribute:

• Identify What Is Needed
  Are there forms or templates you wish you had access to? Let us know what’s needed or what you had access to.
• Submit Forms or Templates You Use
  Do you rely on a form or template in your work that others could benefit from? Upload it to the repository!
• Share Your Policies
  If you’ve created or worked with policies that can serve as models for others, we encourage you to submit those as well.

Submit Now:

Contribute to the Forms, Policies & Templates Repository

Your contributions will help create a living resource that develops leaders through shared practice, consistency, and collaboration.

If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to USET’s Economic Development Director, Rebecca Naragon, at RNaragon@usetinc.org.
