Economic Development moving under Tribal Lands
The Tribal Economic Development program has merged with the Tribal Lands Department under the direction of current Tribal Lands/Self-Governance Manager Jan M. Reibach.
“The program is continuing to actively operate while it’s under development,” Reibach said.
As part of the move, General Manager’s Office Executive Assistant Barbara Branson has moved to the Lands Department. Her new title is Support Services Coordinator. Central phones and the Records Management Program, which were previously under the purview of the General Manager’s Office, will also be under the Lands Department.
Tribal Council Coordinator Chelsea Baranski and Tribal Council Administrative Assistant Shannon Ham-Texeira will assist Interim General Manager Bryan Langley with administrative duties.
“With Jan taking on the additional responsibilities of economic development and needing additional support and with Barbara’s skill set of administration and having worked in the Tribe’s previous Small Business Development Department, it was a good fit,” Langley said. “It has also made the move easier on me having the support from Chelsea and Shannon.”
