Data Governance Board
DGB Development Stage
The Data Governance Board is currently still in their developmental stages. They are hoping to be more functional with Policies and Procedures in place early 2022. Currently they are working under a Grant (Great Lake Inter-Tribal Council) that provides funds to help them through the development process. The board also meets with Tribal Council on a monthly basis to provide updates.
