The Pow Wow Committee (Shawn Ellick) outlined upcoming tournaments and fundraising activities, and the Cyber Security Committee (Mikel Whitecrow) reported two vacancies and emphasized that the committee's policy explains implementation to comply with law rather than creating new law; the committee seeks applicants with cybersecurity, education, or IT experience before the April 3 deadline.
