FAQ

To help you prepare for the 3rd Annual Tribal Enrollment and Enhanced Tribal Card Conference, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most commonly asked questions from attendees and participants.

Who should attend the 3rd Annual Tribal Enrollment & Enhanced Tribal Card (ETC) Conference?

This conference is ideal for current Sacred Path clients and tribes with an existing Enhanced Tribal Card (ETC) program. We strongly encourage all ETC program staff who issue ETCs, as well as IT staff who support or manage the program, to attend.

Enrollment and membership services staff will also find the information highly valuable. Additionally, tribes interested in implementing an ETC program are encouraged to attend to gain important insights and information from both DHS and Sacred Path.

Do I need a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with DHS to attend the conference?

No. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with DHS is not required to attend the conference. All sessions are open to all registered attendees.

Please note: certificates of completion will be issued only to attendees from U.S. federally recognized tribal nations.
