Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board: Indian Leadership for Indian Health

Resolution Guide

Staff and Board Delegate Guide to the NPAIHB Resolution Process (word doc)

NPAIHB resolutions are often the building blocks of legislation or Congressional appropriations born from the ideas of tribal communities expressed in these communities and discussed at Board meetings or other Board sponsored activity.
NPAIHB resolutions do not stay with the Board alone.  Well over half are ‘carried’ to the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians meetings for review by the health committee, chaired by the NPAIHB chair, for its review and often recommendation for passage by ATNI’s member tribes.  The Executive Director and Policy Analyst make the decision concerning which resolutions should be offered to ATNI.
