Another job established for a gs15 or ses crony to send out occasional emails and attend a few meetings a year .
I am for the Office of Native Americans but wish they included other special populations as well (i.e. rural health, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders, lower socio-economic maternal health.)
Hailing from Alaska, a state with a VERY high number of some pretty awesome natives, this is great news!!! Thank you for sharing this! That being said, I sure hope it works as they plan it to. It would be a great service to the native population nationwide, for sure!
