| The Membership office offers services to applicants seeking to become members of the Grand Traverse Band. These applications are evaluated and processed based on the criteria outlined in the Tribal Constitution, Article II and the Enrollment Ordinance approved by Tribal Council, effective October 2, 2006. Additionally, we provide the necessary data to all Tribal programs needing statistical data for grant applications and mailings. We also assist the Election Board in any way possible. |
| On a daily basis our staff makes updates to a database that manages data on member identification and vital statistics such as addresses and phone numbers. This database is also used to generate mailing lists and labels as well as reports for other Tribal programs including the Tribal Newsletter. It stores the photographs and signatures of Tribal members to provide Tribal ID's and it stores genealogical information. |
Services offered through our office include
- Tribal directory
- A list of registered voters, and mailing labels
