IHS Tribal Self-Governance Advisory Committee (TSGAC)

About TSGAC

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Tribal Self-Governance Advisory Committee (TSGAC) provides a forum for Tribal and Federal officials to discuss issues related to Tribal administration of Federal programs and services, exchange ideas, and develop solutions intended to improve Self-Governance and enhance the Tribal-Federal partnership.

TSGAC membership consists of a Primary and an Alternate representative from each of the IHS Areas that have Self-Governance Tribes. The Primary and Alternate TSGAC members from each region also select two persons to serve as Official Members of the TSGAC Technical Workgroup.
