Many Nations, One Goal: Self-Governance
Welcome:
Self-Governance Communication & Education Tribal Consortium (SGCETC), in coordination with Indian Health Service (IHS) and Department of the Interior (DOI) will host the 2019 Tribal Self-Governance Consultation Conference March 31- April 4 at the Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City, Michigan. The mission of this conference is to provide a forum for Tribal leaders and officials to: (1) share best practices for implementing Self-Governance and administrating programs and services to Tribal citizens, (2) stay informed about current issues and learn about updates from Federal agencies, and (3) to learn about the mechanics of Self-Governance and other opportunities for Tribal Nations to pursue their goals of self-government. Thank you for your continued support of Self-Governance and we hope to see you in Michigan!
