Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee (TLDC)

The IHS Director established the Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee (TLDC) in 1998. The TLDC makes recommendations to the IHS Director on broad-based policy and advocacy priorities for diabetes and related chronic conditions as well as recommends a process for the distribution of Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) funds.

• One elected or duly-appointed Tribal Leader from each of the 12 IHS Areas serves as the primary representative.
  • Each Area also designates an alternate member to serve when the primary member is unavailable to do so.
  • TLDC elects one of its members to serve as the Tribal Co-Chair
• One federal representative, who serves as the Federal Co-Chair

One technical advisor from each of the following American Indian/Alaska Native organizations serves in an advisory (non-voting) capacity to the TLDC: Direct Service Tribes Advisory Committee, National Congress of American Indians, National Council of Urban Indian Health, National Indian Health Board, and Tribal Self-Governance Advisory Committee.
