There are many approaches for communication to which the Southern Ute Tribal Council can employ to reach out to the Southern Ute tribal membership. Often, the information they wish to share is sensitive and only made available to the enrolled Southern Ute tribal members.

We are currently living in the age of technology, and more traditional means of communication have timeframes that are not comparably efficient.

An example: it takes multiple days to mail a letter to the Tribal Membership living on the reservation and longer for those who choose to live in other parts of the country. Tribal Council encourages the Tribal Membership to regularly log-on to the Tribal Member Website to see what new minutes, announcements, and events are posted. This does not go without saying that Tribal Council will continue to make efforts to communicate in various ways in order to share the messages with as many Tribal Members as possible.
