Executive Council - Youth Representative
The Youth Representative position on the Executive Council was created through Resolution 99-08: Central Council General Assembly Youth Representative, which passed in 1999, to enhance the leadership skills of our tribal youth. The position provides opportunities to acquire important knowledge about Central Council, its processes and organizational structure, and valueable hands-on leadership experience.
As a Youth Representative, he/she has all rights of attendance at all Executive Council meetings but does not have voting privileges. He/she may speak on any business that is before the Executive Council.
Elections for youth representative(s) occur on even years at the same time the elections for the Executive Council. The highest vote getter will serve the first full year and the runner-up will serve the second full year.
