Board Composition Note: the Board of Directors is required by federal guidelines to be consumer controlled (at least 51 percent American Indian). Additional Bylaw requirements stipulate that the three members of the Board are to be providers representing the medical/behavioral health fields. The Bylaws also provide for three At-Large members that represent the general community. Directors serve two year staggered terms. Directors may be appointed to fill vacancies, but all Directors are elected to serve two-year full terms. Elections are held annually in November in which any active patient is eligible to vote. The Board elects its own officers.
