Your goals as a Tribal Council Member:
Honestly, there’s so much I could say that I will do or accomplish, but that is hard because it is not just me at the table. We must think about everybody connected to this tribe in one form or another, such as being a tribal member or descendant, and how our decisions will affect us. Then we must think about the non-native spouse, significant other, or friend who lives in our community, to our valued employees. Sometimes even strangers.
Picking or choosing a specific goal is hard because the bigger picture is what we need to aim for, and what we do or the decisions we make today for our future to carry on is a big job.
There’s so much to think about in this position, and some of the decisions are hard. We need to accept that the Tribal Council has our best interests at heart, but sometimes it won’t be what you like. It’s ok to be frustrated with our decisions, but sometimes we get frustrated too, because there are just some things we have no control over, and that ties our hands in the way we process what needs to be done.
Personally, I want to have a great job and to be very helpful when and where I can.
Basic Information:
I have two bachelor’s degrees, one in Business Administration and one in Accounting. I love learning. I was the Higher Education Director for 25 years prior to this job. I love to golf. One of my favorite things to do is watch my grandbabies or other tribal children do their thing, whatever sport they choose to play. I love to travel. I have been to Europe and visited five different countries. Other than that, I have just been living the best life I can possibly live.
