Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) is proud to announce the graduation of Cohort 2 of the Leadership for Results program, which took place on May 1, 2025, in Fairbanks. This year’s cohort included 26 participants—Tribal members, leaders, TCC staff, youth, and Elders—who dedicated themselves to a five-month journey of learning and growth.
Leadership for Results is a transformative leadership development program that helps participants strengthen their social-emotional well-being while gaining the tools to uplift their organizations and communities. The program focuses on capacity-building, fostering sustainable change, and enhancing leadership skills to address community and organizational challenges. Participants also learn strategies for maximizing resources and building effective partnerships.
A key element of the program is the Action Learning Project, where teams apply their new knowledge to a real-world issue in their community or organization. To ensure community voices were central to the process, teams interviewed Elders, adults, and youth to gather input before developing and implementing their plans. These projects were showcased and celebrated at the graduation ceremony.
This year, graduates of Cohort 1 returned as facilitators, supporting the new cohort and contributing to the success of the Action Learning Projects. Their guidance and collaboration added valuable depth, and many remarked on the impressive growth and leadership demonstrated by participants from both cohorts.
TCC congratulates these exceptional leaders and looks forward to continuing this work together. If you’re interested in joining a future cohort, please contact learninganddevelopment@tananachiefs.org or Tiffany Simmons at ext. 3438.
