In 1998, she began her NCAI career in the welfare reform program. Sarah’s experience in leading NCAI’s welfare reform reauthorization efforts gave her a sense of the need for timely, credible data to inform policymaking at the tribal and national levels. Her early experiences at NCAI led to Sarah’s commitment to the Policy Center’s core values of a tribally driven research agenda, research conducted for the benefit of tribal communities, and a capacity-building approach to research.
