will be organized around the statutory purposes of Head Start tribal

government authorizing them to represent the tribe. Tribal governments 
must submit the designee letter at least 3 days in advance of the 
consultation sessions to Angie Godfrey at [email protected]. 
Other representatives of tribal organizations and Native non-profit

made available within 45 days of the consultation sessions to all 
tribal governments receiving funds for Head Start and Early Head Start 
programs. Tribes wishing to submit written testimony for the report 
should send testimony to Angie Godfrey at [email protected]
