Who's In?
Who is included in a subscription
Obviously, we must put limits on who can be included in training with a single subscription fee (or we will quickly go out of business!). Here is how we set those limits along with some clarifying examples:
Tribal Council/Alliance/Association/Large Nation:
A tribal council or other umbrella group requires a subscription for its own council and administration. The subscription does not extend to its member nations/groups.
Example: The Southwest Alliance is an umbrella group representing fourteen nations. It has one governing council and eleven staff. Alliance council and its eleven staff are one client. Member nations must subscribe separately.
Small Nation:
A nation with only one governing council (it has no member communities with governing councils) needs only one subscription.
Example: the Ulap Nation has six small communities but only one council. Therefore, all six communities have access to training with one subscription
Community:
A community has its own council and buys a subscription.
A community with no independent council wants training but its parent nation does not. The community buys its own subscription which does not extend to the rest of the nation.
Example 1: The Community of Moise River is part of the Lingit Nation. Moise River has its own governing council. Moise River wants training and gets a subscription, but the other Lingit communities do not. The other communities cannot share the subscription.
Example 2: The community of Palauk has no council of its own but wants training. Its governing nation is not interested. They raise the money themselves and get their own subscription which they could choose to share with their nation.
Community Group:
An informal group of individuals in a community can buy a subscription
Example: Nine women in Benson Lake want to start a personal development group but their small community has no money. The nine women split the cost and get a subscription. The group could choose to share the subscription with their community.
Not-for-Profit:
A not-for-profit governed by a board can hold a subscription.
Example: The Iska Housing Society has offices with staff in four towns. The organization has one board. Therefore Iska is a single client.
Business:
A private or public enterprise with a single management structure can have a subscription.
Example: The Kawkwa Nation have four nation-owned businesses which the Kawkwa council oversees. However, each business is a separate entity with its own management structure and therefore, each business is a separate client.
Special Considerations:

Can't afford SOAR ProTraining? If your nation, community or group honestly cannot afford the subscription fee, please call us. Bursaries are available.
