ERIC D. EBERHARD, NEW CHAIR OF THE UDALL FOUNDATION
Eric D. Eberhard has been elected as the chair of the board of trustees of the Udall Foundation. In October 2011, Eberhard, a member of the board since 2000, succeeded Terrence L. Bracy, who chaired the board for the last 17 years.
“Eric has made enormous contributions to the Udall Foundation since he joined the board,” said Ellen Wheeler, executive director of the Foundation. “As the Udall Foundation matures and develops, the experience and leadership Eric brings will ensure that we continue to expand our impact around the country.”
“Eric is an old friend and a great advocate for Native Americans,” said Senator John McCain. “I look forward to working with him as he continues the great legacy of Morris Udall.”
In December 2000, the U.S. Senate confirmed President Clinton’s appointment of Eberhard to the board of trustees of the Udall Foundation. President Bush nominated him for a second term on the board in 2005, and he was confirmed by the Senate in 2006. During his time on the board, Eberhard has played a leading role in furthering the mission of the Foundation. From 2001 to 2011, he chaired the Udall Foundation’s board committee on the Native Nations Institute.
Eberhard is a Distinguished Indian Law Practitioner in Residence at the Law School at Seattle University. From 1995 to 2009, he was a partner in the Seattle office of Dorsey and Whitney LLP. He received his B.A. degree from Western Reserve University in 1967, a J.D. degree from the University of Cincinnati in 1970, and an LL.M. from George Washington University in 1972. Continue reading

LONGTIME UDALL FOUNDATION CHAIR TO STEP DOWN
Tucson—Terrence L. Bracy, who has chaired the Udall Foundation board of trustees for 17 years, will step down from that role at the end of October 2011. Bracy has led the board of the independent federal agency from its inception in late 1994 to the important government role it plays today.
The Foundation was established by the U.S. Congress in 1992 to honor the 30-year legacy of public service by Congressman Morris K. Udall and expanded in 2009 to honor Former Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall. The Foundation is governed by a board of trustees whose members are appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Bracy was elected chair at the first meeting of the board in October 1994 and has remained chair throughout his three terms on the board.
“Terry’s dedicated service has been critical to advancing the tremendous legacies of Mo and Stewart Udall,” said Senator John McCain of Arizona. “I wish him the best.”
“Terry served many years to make sure the Udall legacy would be enshrined in the national consciousness, not just today but in the future,” said Congressman Raúl Grijalva of Arizona. “He has the sincere thanks of all of us who know how important the Udall Foundation and its work are to this country. I was happy to work with him, and he will be missed.”
Ellen Wheeler, executive director of the Udall Foundation notes, “Terry was instrumental in developing and advancing the programs of the Foundation. The Udall Foundation would not be the organization it is today without his involvement. Long after he steps down, Terry’s presence will continue to be felt throughout our programs.”
Bracy served as an aide to Congressman Mo Udall from 1966–1976. He also worked on Congressman Udall’s presidential campaign in 1976. In 1994, Bracy was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the board of trustees. He was reappointed by President Clinton in 1998, and by President George W. Bush in 2006. Bracy led the Foundation in creating the Udall Scholarship, which had its first class of scholarship recipients in 1995. Under his leadership, the Foundation also created the Native American Congressional Internship on Capitol Hill, cofounded the Native Nations Institute, and accepted from Congress the stewardship of the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution.

2010 Native American Congressional Internships
in Washington, D.C.
Terry Bracy, Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation, has announced that 12 students from 11 tribes and nine universities have been selected as 2010 Native American Congressional Interns. They were selected by an independent review committee of nationally recognized Native American educators and tribal policy leaders on the basis of demonstrated commitment to careers in tribal public policy and academic achievement.
This highly regarded internship program is intended to provide Native Americans and Alaska Natives with an insider’s view of the federal government. The internship is located in Washington, D.C., and is known for placing Native students in competitive positions in Senate and House offices, committees, Cabinet departments and the White House, where they are able to observe government decision-making processes first-hand.
The Foundation awards approximately 12 Internships every summer on the basis of merit to Native Americans and Alaska Natives who are college juniors or seniors, recent graduates from tribal or four-year colleges, or graduate or law students who have demonstrated an interest in fields related to tribal public policy, such as tribal governance, tribal law, Native American education, Native American health, Native American justice, natural resource protection, cultural preservation and revitalization, and Native American economic development.
The 12 new Udall Interns will complete an intensive, 10-week internship in the summer of 2010. Special enrichment activities will provide opportunities to meet with key decision-makers. Since its inception in 1996, 162 Native American/Alaska Native students from 86 tribes have participated in the program.
The 2010 Native American Congressional Internship class includes:
CONGRESS ENACTS LEGISLATION TO ENHANCE THE UDALL FOUNDATION AND HONOR STEWART L. UDALL
Today, Congress enacted legislation to enhance the Udall Foundation, located in Tucson, Arizona, and simultaneously honor one of the great public servants and foremost environmental visionaries of the era, Stewart L. Udall.
The bill renames the federal agency the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation, in recognition of the historic Interior Secretary’s contributions.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Raul Grijalva in the U.S. House of Representatives and cosponsored by Rep. Nick J. Rahall, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, and Reps. Ed Pastor, Gabrielle Giffords, Harry Mitchell, and Ann Kirkpatrick. Senator Jeff Bingaman introduced the bill in the U.S. Senate, and Senator John McCain cosponsored the legislation.
“Many have contributed to this moment, but I want to extend a special thanks to Congressman Grijalva who fathered the legislation and provided the energy to make this day possible,” said Terry Bracy, chair of the Board of Trustees of the Udall Foundation. “I also want to express our deepest appreciation to Senator Bingaman and Senator McCain who skillfully guided this legislation through the Senate. It is one of many efforts Senator McCain has made on behalf of the Foundation.” Bracy also noted the formative role Congressman Pastor has had in providing the Foundation with vital funding over the years.
