DCYF, interested Tribal Nations, AMC and MACSSA representatives develop IAC charter

Following Tribal consultations in the latter half of 2024, along with conversations with representatives from the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC), and the Minnesota Association of County Social Services Administrators (MACSSA), DCYF drafted an IAC concept charter for consideration by representatives from DCYF, interested Tribal Nations, AMC, and MACSSA.

On June 23, 2025, and July 21, 2025, representatives from DCYF, interested Tribal Nations, and designated county organizations met to review, discuss, and refine the charter for the IAC. Additional opportunities were provided for input and feedback on the charter draft prior to August 13, 2025.
