		STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The Seattle Indian Services Commission (SISC) is a public corporation as defined in City of Seattle Ordinance 103387 and was chartered in 1972 to:Provide effective, comprehensive, and coordinated planning services, activities, and programs that will meet the unique needs of the many Indian residents of Seattle who are scattered throughout the city.
		ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTION The commission was originally formed in 1972 to obtain a Seattle Model City Program grant of $600,000 to purchase a building for use as a center for Indian service organizations. The current management of all commission affairs resides in the Commission. SISC has an eight-member board of directors, with two representatives each from the following four organizations: American Indian Women's Service League, Seattle Indian Center, Seattle Indian Health Board, and United Indians of All Tribes. After a year's experience contracting with a management consulting firm to manage the corporation, SISC hired an executive director and a part-time administrative assistant.
		SISC would like to thank CITY YEAR for all their efforts on behalf of the Commission. CITY YEAR after Painting the Leschi Center Building!
