Enrollment Committee
The Enrollment Committee is appointed by the Tribal Council through the Standing Committee application process. For details on the duties and powers of the Enrollment Committee, see the Enrollment Ordinance.
Before any actions are taken by Tribal Council, the Enrollment Clerk reviews the application/request to determine if the application/request is complete. The application/request is then forwarded to the Enrollment Committee.
On a quarterly basis, the Enrollment Committee reviews applications & requests to make a recommendation to Tribal Council. Their recommendation is posted in the area offices, Tribal Administration Building and on the Tribal website prior to action by Tribal Council.
Tribal Council will then take action on the applications and requests at their next regular tribal council meeting following the close of the posting period. The Tribal Council’s action will be published in the following Siletz News for the general membership to be easily informed of enrollment actions affecting the Tribal membership.
Enrollment Committee meetings are held via Zoom at 5:00 PM.
