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. In 1974 the BOR incorporated in the State of New Mexico and the following year received IRS determination as a Non-Profit Organization under
Section 501(c)(3).
The Board of Regents has an office in the Occupational Technologies Building at SIPI. This office houses an accountant, a Program Assistant and the coordinators of several grant programs that benefit SIPI.
