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.

TSGAC protocols outline the committee’s roles, responsibilities, and the process for committee members to submit for travel reimbursement.
