MIWSAC is seeking individuals interested in serving on our Circle Keepers. New Circle Keepers will be seated at our Annual Membership Meeting in October 2024. Circle Keepers meet bi-monthly, are responsible for fiscal oversight of the organization, help to represent MIWSAC, and serve 3-year terms.
To reflect our tribal values, we refer to our governing body as our Circle Keepers. To ensure the needs of the organization are met, tasks have been delegated and reflect the functions of a traditional Board of Directors. Major decisions are made collectively to reflect the universal Tribal value of being inclusive and for the benefit of all Tribal members, reservation, rural or urban, in the State of Minnesota, regardless of Tribal affiliation.
Our By-Laws require that the leadership of the Circle Keepers consist of American Indian and/or Alaska Native women. The Circle Keepers shall consist of no more than ten and no less than five members.
