Membership

The Alaska Tribal Administrators Association supports one of the most critical roles in Tribal governance: the Alaska Tribal Administrator. We recognize Tribal Administrators as professionals who play a vital role in delivering essential services to their Tribal Citizens as well as their communities. ATAA is dedicated to empowering them with resources, advocacy, and professional development to strengthen Alaska’s Tribal Governments.
​
ATAA members are our partners, providing input, recommendations, and active participation in shaping administrative priorities through our annual resolution process.
