IRD Strategic Plan

Two of the foundational and operational principles of Indian Resources Development are collaboration and consultation.

  • Collaboration – IRD cannot accomplish its mission alone, so an important focus of the work is to develop and foster collaborations with tribal entities and community members, educational institutions like high schools, colleges and universities; non-profit organizations, businesses, agencies, and other programs.
  • Consultation – IRD does not act based on what it believes it is needed, but on what tribal communities, and the students it serves, have stated they need and want. These two reasons, collaboration, and consultation are why we would like your input regarding the updated IRD strategic plan. Please share your thoughts with us and email us at, ird@nmsu.edu.
