Support our students
American Indigenous Business Leaders (AIBL) is the only national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to increase the representation of American Indians in business and entrepreneurial ventures through education and leadership development opportunities. AIBL was founded on four guiding principles: Education, Experience, Leadership, and Culture.
AIBL helps school-based AIBL Chapter members link their school coursework with business and entrepreneurship education in a way that expands their curriculum beyond traditional academic methods. Each year, close to 10,000 students and professionals identify themselves as AIBL Chapter members and AIBL Alumni.
The AIBL Annual National Conference finds new locations around the country each year. At the conference, hundreds of students gather to share thoughts, ideas, and new and emerging research trends in the business industry both on and off the reservation communities.
Your contribution supports the entire conference experience and participation in AIBL programming. Conference sponsorship includes registration fees, meals, workshops, competitions, social events, and awards banquet. Sponsorship covers two free registration tickets so come and enjoy the conference experience yourself.

don and elaine witmer
After graduating from the University of Montana with an M.B.A in Finance, Don worked for the Montana state legislature as a Fiscal Analyst. In 1987 Don moved to Silicon Valley where he earned his CPA while working for Price-Waterhouse in their emerging business division. He then spent his career in executive positions helping a number of companies grow from their startup phase to their initial public offering.
In San Jose, Don also worked on a number of private and non-profit boards including Life Steps and the Support Network for Battered Women. In 2007, Don and his wife moved to Paso Robles where they live and work on their pistachio orchard.
“Through the generous support of Don and Elaine, many Indigenous students are able to find their place and build a future filled with hope and love. The words “thank you”could never come close to our feelings for the Witmer family.”
