OVC invites Consultation testimony from representatives of Federally recognized Tribes, including:

• elected Tribal leaders;
• appointed Tribal leaders; or
• individuals authorized to testify by an elected or appointed Tribal leader.

If you have been designated by a Tribal Leader to testify, OVC asks that you email a Delegation of Authority letter on Tribal letterhead signed by the elected or appointed Tribal leader to ovctribalsetaside@usdoj.gov.

All participants who plan to testify will receive instructions for how to deliver your testimony after you register. During the Consultation, Tribal leaders will be called on to testify in the order in which their registration was received.

Each registrant will receive a reminder email the week before, and day before, the Consultation session.
