Tracie Stevens, the first woman to lead the National Indian Gaming Commission, delivered the keynote at the Oklahoma Indian Gaming
Association conference on Monday.
Stevens pledged to consult tribes on gaming issues. She said the NIGC will continue to hold one-on-one meetings with tribes on specific issues but she also promised to hold general meetings so that all tribes can hear from one another.
In addition to consultation, Stevens said technical assistance and training, regulatory review and a review of the agency’s operations are among her top priorities at the NIGC.
