Home Management Board of Directors Locations

Message from the Chairman

Members of the Native American Connections' Board of Directors have been fortunate to witness the positive impact of NAC's affordable housing, behavioral health, and community development services on the lives of Native American individuals and families over the last 37 years. Under the leadership of Diana Yazzie Devine and her committed staff, Native American Connections has transformed into one of the oldest and most respected Native nonprofit organizations in Phoenix with the ability to reach and aid a more expanded population with each passing year. While the Board remains diverse in terms of the experiences and expertise offered by each member, the members share a common vision and enthusiasm to continue growing and strengthening the services of Native American Connections. The uplifting stories of success from former clients make participation on the board such a rewarding experience for its members. The commitment and contributions of former and current board members ensure that future board members will continue to hear these success stories as a result of this unique organization.
