Advisory Board
Purpose of the Advisory Committee
The Center will have an Advisory Committee composed of representatives from each of the four Tribes in ND and one from the National Indian Health Board. The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to ensure that Center activities are appropriately responding to the public health needs of tribal communities in North Dakota, regionally and nationally and to identify opportunities (funding and programmatic) for future Center activities.
