Occupancy, Property Maintenance Man- agement and Environmental Compliance. Each course ended with a two-hour exam, where participants must score 80% or better to receive credit toward certification. Since the inception of the NAIHC Leadership Institute, a mere 60 Indian Housing professionals have achieved suc- cessful completion of the PIHM training track. Previously, Terry Fisher and Jessica Garcia received the same certification, making it five Siletz Tribal members who have received this prestigious certification. Well done!
