Advisory Committees
OSHKI’s Program Advisory Committees function pursuant to the formal and signed Partnership and Program Service Agreements held with our college partners. The committees are comprised of community members with valuable community-based and professional experience, in addition to an interest in education and training. They are dynamic groups of people committed to working with OSHKI to ensure the learning needs of the peoples we serve are met. Committee members act as advisors in curriculum design, review, funding, administration and many other issues which arise as a result of our unique position. They are liaisons between the Institute and the communities, and as such they provide OSHKI with guidance in ensuring that we are acting with the support of the community.
The three current Program Advisory Committees are composed of the following tribal council-appointed representatives:
