Consultations and meetings

Tribal consultations and roundtables

See below for scheduled consultations and roundtables. Tribal consultations or roundtables can be initiated by tribes or the Health Care Authority.

What is the difference between a roundtable and a consultation?

At a roundtable, the main goal is to give and receive information.
At a consultation, the main goals are to address issues and concerns, and make decisions.
