National Johnson - O'Malley Association

The National Johnson O'Malley Association has representation from tribal government, elders, Indian Education committees, parents, student educators, and administrators.  The Association's intent is to provide a unified effort to preserve JOM service delivery.  The need clearly exists to increase funding through collaborative efforts, to advocate the express concerns, and make recommendations for JOM program services to our tribal children.  The continuity of communication will promote ongoing awareness of local, state, and national educational activities.
