The Native CDFI Network (NCN) is thrilled to announce the newest addition to our team, Pamela Boivin (Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin), who will be stepping into the role of CCIA Program Manager.
In her role as CCIA Program Manager, Pamela will be at the helm of the CCIA Regional Coordinator team, driving forward our mission to bolster the capacity of Native Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) in building a robust clean energy finance infrastructure. Her efforts will be instrumental in shaping and supporting clean energy investments that are both sustainable and impactful for Native communities.
Prior to joining NCN, Mrs. Boivin led Woodland Financial Partners, a Native CDFI located on the Menominee Reservation in Wisconsin.

Her professional journey, marked by dedication and continuous learning, has led her to her current role as the NCN CCIA Program Manager. Pam has dedicated 17 years of service to the Native CDFI industry and will champion the clean energy movement with NCN.
