Senate Confirms Tracie Stevens as NIGC Chair

On June 23, the Senate confirmed Tracie Stevens as chair of the National Indian Gaming Commission.

In a press statement issued upon Stevens’ confirmation, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said that she “brings to the commission a wealth of expertise and experience from a distinguished career working on both tribal government and gaming issues.”

Stevens, nominated by President Obama on April 28, 2010, is an enrolled member of the Tulalip Tribes in Washington. She most recently served as senior advisor to Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs Larry Echo Hawk, but she also served as senior policy analyst with the Tulalip Tribes’ government affairs office and on various state, regional and national Indian gaming-related boards and committees.
