The Native American Advisory Board is made up of tribal representatives from tribal governments and Native American (American Indian/Alaska Native) organizations from around Washington state. Members serve by invitation from the Vice President for Minority Affairs & Diversity Rickey Hall. (All the federally recognized Washington territory tribal governments receive updates and invitational announcements of the quarterly meetings.)
