Nya:wëh sgë:no’,
As summer hits full stride I hope all are safe and healthy enjoying the balmy heat. On July 8th, the Nation leadership hosted the first Financial Q&A session in recent history. It was an exciting interaction with the community here and far away. The virtual session was interactive and many good questions were answered. I was able to provide definitions for our investment strategies and managing partners. Including definitions of accounts restrictions of funds and plans for future debt restructuring/payoffs. The video link can still be accessed at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/recording/8710684466598136070, you will have to enter your name and email address to view. I hope all that attended took away some hard factual truths of the nations current financial picture and the forecasts of the short and long term future.
The idea was to reinforce the feedback we the nation have been hearing and showing the transparency of the nation and the treasury of our beautiful nation. As questions and fears arose we felt it necessary to host and potentially continue to have these question and answer sessions. Many ideas came from the session and will be considered and potentially implemented moving forward.
With that I’d like to thank each and everyone that virtually attended. Marilyn Anderson, Sherri Bragg, Sally Blacksnake, Patricia Canfield, Eva Capasso, Jill Crane, Linda Crouse, Jorda Garrow, Rosalind Ground, Arthur Hill, Geraldine Huff, Alyana Jimerson, Amy Jimerson, Carrie John-Leary, Jaimye Kelly, Ryan Kennedy, Marta Kettle, Michele Keyes, Carlyn Larkin, Cari Lobaugh, Leslie Logan, Richard Lukonaitis, Donna Jean Maybee, Alana McClune, Robert Mele, Amy Mohawk, Judy Olson, Stefanie Olson, Tassy Parker, William Passerotti, Valerie Seneca, Natalie Stahlman, David Santana Sr, Jessica Seneca, Jeanette Shinners, Kerstine Shinners, Allen Silvernail, Rebecca Sowrey, Kira Steinwandt, Margaret Thompson, Asha Veeraswamy, John Waterman, Stephen Watt, Ramona Williams, Sheila Cooper, Darlene Miller and Deon Pierce. Please forgive me for any spelling mistakes.
While the gaming operations continue ramping up, their financial forecasts indicate that it will take time for all the amenities and cash flow to fully recover. Much work has been put in buffering the nation and gaming for a slow ramp up but as more information comes I will keep you all posted.
Stay safe, stay strong and stay informed,
Matt
