Volunteers Needed
CIBA needs volunteers with expertise in a number of areas to help us with the increasingly complex task of running a statewide, intertribal organization and convening an annual event that draws basketweavers and visitors from all over the state each year. If you have skills in the area of legal issues, financial management, grant writing, stress reduction and/or group facilitating, staff development, or computer technology, and if you are retired or have the time to help, please contact us if you can volunteer your time.
