Christian Reiller, Allegany TERO Director
My name is Christian Reiller Sr., I was born and raised right here on the Allegany Reservation, where I am currently raising my three enrolled children, alongside my fiancé Chelce Finch. I have had the luxury of working my way up through the ranks within the Seneca Nation, and I am now proudly the Director of the TERO department on the Allegany Territory. I pride myself on leaving no stone unturned, and doing whatever necessary to aid in any Seneca, or any other Native looking for work. The main goal is to place individuals in careers where they are happy, and can make reasonable wages to support themselves and their family.
The Seneca Nation of Indians Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) is to enforce Native preference in employment, and contracting opportunities within the exterior boundaries of any Seneca Nation lands. The TERO office will do anything and everything necessary to provide our Native people with an abundant of career opportunities, both on Nation lands and off.
Marlene Cook, Cattaraugus TERO Director
Marlene Cook is the newly hired Tribal Employment Rights Office Director (TERO) for the Cattaraugus Territory office. Her office covers the areas of Cattaraugus, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. For many years, Marlene has worked as a union rep for Teamsters and Steelworkers where she fought for the rights of the employees.
Marlene’s goal is to build up the skill bank in order to maintain the 51% qualified native workforce on jobs that are within the exterior boundaries of any Nation lands. She also wants to bring in more female workers. As a single mother herself who has worked a number of difficult jobs in harsh conditions, she hopes to encourage other single mothers to not give up and that anything is possible. Marlene is looking forward to getting our native families to work.
