Our Board

Our board of directors is comprised of individuals living and working in the Denver Metropolitan area. They represent a diverse tribal enrollment to ensure we best serve our inter-tribal community.

About our Board

Our Board generously volunteers their time as part of their commitment to health and wellness in our community.

They meet monthly with the Executive Director to help guide our organization in a way that advances our mission and vision. Annually, our Board of Directors participates in a strategic planning retreat. They create specific tasks and form special committees to achieve those tasks in the upcoming fiscal year.

Please get in touch if you have questions about our process or input for our next board meeting.
