Phefelia & Jonathan Co-Founders
Leadership Rooted in Resilience
Jonathan Nez is the former President and Vice President of the Navajo Nation. His public service began at the local level as Shonto Chapter Vice President and expanded to include roles on the Navajo Nation Council and the Navajo County Board of Supervisors.
As Navajo Nation President from 2019 to 2023, Nez led the Nation through the COVID-19 crisis, when it had the highest per capita infection rate in the U.S.—surpassing even New York City. Under his leadership, and with guidance from public health experts, the Nation implemented aggressive safety protocols and vaccination efforts that resulted in the highest vaccination rate in the country. Nez credited the strength and unity of the Navajo people for that success.
He holds a B.S. in Political Science and an M.P.A. from Northern Arizona University.
Phefelia Nez, former First Lady of the Navajo Nation, was raised on Hopi Partition Land in Big Mountain, Arizona. With more than 15 years of volunteer service, she continues to serve on numerous boards and councils, including the First Things First Navajo Nation Regional Partnership Council, Haskell Indian Nations Board of Regents, and the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees. She is also a graduate of Arizona State University’s Lodestar Center Nonprofit Executive Leadership Academy.
During her tenure as First Lady, Phefelia Nez championed education, family strengthening, volunteerism, faith-based initiatives, financial literacy, animal welfare, and the preservation of Navajo language and culture.
She holds a B.S. in Political Science & Criminal Justice and an M.P.A., also from Northern Arizona University.
Together, Jonathan and Phefelia Nez were awarded honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters by NAU in recognition of their leadership during the pandemic—a defining chapter in Navajo history that, to them, reflects the unbreakable resilience of their people.
They now lead Nez Consulting, LLC, a firm providing strategic planning, organizational development, facilitation, speaking engagements, and white paper drafting on issues including health, education, energy, and tribal governance.
