ALL TRIBAL MEMBERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND NEIGHBORS INVITED !!

In 2022, the Chehalis Tribe established an event designed to offer both Chehalis Tribal members and the wider community an engaging and enjoyable way to explore resources and tools for financial empowerment. We are excited to host this event once again and would like to invite you, as a valued partner of the Chehalis Tribe and its enterprises, to join us.

About the Event: The Financial Freedom Fair is designed to offer a dynamic platform for community members to explore valuable resources and tools that promote financial confidence and empowerment. Our goal is to provide attendees with educational, non-sales presentations and practical information that they can use to enhance their financial well-being.

Sponsorship and Table Registration: We are seeking sponsors and exhibitors who are passionate about financial literacy and community support. As a sponsor, you will have the opportunity to:

Present: Deliver a concise, informative presentation on a topic related to your expertise, providing actionable insights and tools for attendees. There are limited opportunities to be a presenter, so respond quickly!
Exhibit: Set up a table in the main gym to share information about your services, resources, and expertise. This will allow attendees to learn more about your organization and engage with you directly.
Please reach out as soon as possible to Tamra Marlowe De Nova about CTLF sponsorship opportunities
