Associate Member Program
The California Nations Indian Gaming Association Associate Membership program is a valuable and vital part of the organization. In addition to a host of benefits, associate members are essential to CNIGA as partners in the progress of our industry as well as securing growth for the future.

The tribal government gaming industry has faced numerous attacks over the past two decades yet it has continued to grow thanks not only to the hard work of our tribes, but also to the support of those in the business community. As you know tribes have won our largest victories when we join together in unity, and now we are asking you to join with us in our continued efforts to protect our industry. The support of our friends and partners in the business community is crucial to the growth of our industry. The protection of tribal government gaming rights will strengthen this industry for both our tribal governments and our business partners. We are hopeful that you will join with the CNIGA member tribes in our efforts to protect and preserve the tribal gaming industry.
