What’s new in the Tribal Casino Management program?

Posted on August 29, 2011 by iocreative

Introduction to Casino Management course will be delivered through online and hybrid modalities for Fall 2011.

Beginning Fall Quarter 2011 Northwest Indian College initiates two new modality methods to deliver the Introduction to Casino Management (HRCM 111 [5 CR]) course for students enrolled in the Tribal Casino Management program.

Student and site surveys and feedback requested these changes in order to satisfy the scheduling issues that many students that work in gaming and or hospitality face currently. With work schedules continually in flux, changes in position and turnover rarely static; creating the need for delivering courses that offer students more flexibility when they can dedicate quality time to attending classes or studying. The new hybrid course will consist of 50% of the course being completed in the NWIC online classroom “MOODLE” and 50% by attending ITV classes scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday.  The fully Online course is supported through Online chats, forums, Skype conferences and email. Additional support options are being considered.

The program understands the nuances of the working student and the demands of the hospitality and gaming operation and enterprise. An example of the philosophy we share in the Tribal Casino Management Program is understanding differences in lifestyles including family, how to effectively adapt to change and finding ways to bring balance to ones self, family and employer.

Tribal Casino Management Program peers continue their journey

Posted on June 30, 2011 by iocreative

Special thanks to a diverse group of professionals (and peers) that attended all or part of the Tribal Casino Management Program in 2010/2011. I want to wish each of you a great summer wherever that takes you.  I’d like each of you to know that the program and the classes were unique and hugely successful because of you and your interpretations of the content. Without your leadership, dedication to your teammates, thought provoking ideas and commitment to change; this program would not have realized the growth and the success that now presents itself for current and future peers, managers, directors and executives in business and tribal administration. Thank you ladies and gentlemen . It was my honor to work with you for the past school year. I wish you continued success in school and in business.  Remember “We’re connected forever”.

I’d also like to thank those of you that supported our endeavor to reach beyond ordinary. Your support and commitment to our students and program was overwhelming. Thank you  “Tami, Nita, Karen, Tracey, Michelle, Stoo, Gaylene, Joel, Ron, Simone, Bill, Susan, Ted, Bernice, Justin, Jason and Cheryl”. Lastly thank you to the tribal organizations that supported our students: Lummi Tribe, Port Gamble Indian Community, Lower Elwha Tribal Community, Swinomish Indian Tribe and the Nooksack Indian Tribe.

Politics takes time. Bingo vote by the Alabama public delayed

Posted on May 21, 2010 by iocreative

Who do you suppose has the upper arm in the politicking taking place in Alabama? Again the political machine has disrupted the charitable Bingo Parlors in Alabama? I have a few lingering questions about the overall dilemma there.

  1. How much money are we talking about in Tax revenue that could be generated from allowing regulated commercial bingo enterprises?
  2. How much money are we talking about that is paid to employees as payroll and would allow those individuals to be lifted off the welfare roles and that payroll flowing through the economy?
  3. How much money are we talking about that will be granted (given, paid, awarded) or lost depending upon how those legislators vote when they do vote? And who will get the favorable nod when the contracts are awarded?
  4. How much are the casino bosses (Companies) in Mississippi and game manufacturer’s willing to ante up to either open up or shut down this jurisdiction by influencing political wishes and careers?
  5. How much would be lost by the companies that went into the Big Business of Bingo (Charitable?) to build these sophisticated enterprises and create jobs, tax base, traffic for other small businesses and of course wealth.

Did I read somewhere over the last few months that the delay to put a referendum in front of the  votes was in their best interest?

Politics is a great study of processes that are alive and well across this country. The reality and the truth about what is happening here in Alabama will not be realized until years from now. Books will have been written about this as one career ends and another begins in the world of politics. You cab bet your Bingo stash on that!
