Board of Regents
SIPI is governed by an eleven member Board of Regents (BOR) who represent and are appointed by the following tribal entities: Jicarilla Apache Tribe, Mescalero Apache Tribe, Navajo Tribe (Eastern and Western), Northern Pueblos Council, Ten Southern Pueblos, Southern Ute Tribe, Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, Joint Oklahoma Tribes, and the SIPI Student Senate. The BOR oversees the implementation of the Institute's mission to provide training to Indian students from tribes all across the nation. The BOR works with the administration in determining goals and activities for long-range development. Toward this effort they incorporated in the State of New Mexico in November 1974 and the following year received IRS determination as a Non-Profit Organization under Section 501(c)(3).
