Rooted in Strength, Rising Together: 2026 TCC Annual Convention & Full Board of Directors Meeting

Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) is pleased to announce its upcoming Annual Convention and Full Board of Directors Meeting, taking place March 9–12 at the 8 Star Event Center in Fairbanks, Alaska. This year’s theme, 'Rooted in Strength, Rising Together,' highlights the power of community and connection. Our roots—shaped by culture, language, land, and the wisdom of our Elders—ground us in identity and purpose. By honoring those roots and supporting one another, we rise collectively. Through collaboration, shared responsibility, and unity across our Tribes, we continue working toward a stronger, healthier future for our people and the generations to come. The convention will address a range of timely topics, including those identified by Tribal delegates through survey feedback. Panels featuring representatives from TCC, Tribal leadership, Elders, Emerging Leaders, and state, local, and federal agencies will provide updates and reports. Delegates and community members will also have opportunities to ask questions and share feedback on the information presented. Several key elections will take place during this year’s event, including: Chief/Chairman, Upper Tanana Subregional Representative, and Yukon Koyukuk Subregional Representative. This meeting is open to the public, and Tribal members are encouraged to attend to hear updates from TCC leadership and Tribal delegates on topics that impact them. A resource fair and bazaar will also be held.
