WORLEY – The Coeur d’Alene Tribe is proud to announce the next Chief Executive Officer of the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel, Francis SiJohn.

“When we first opened our casino, we had a vision for what gaming would mean for our Tribe. We wanted to be able to provide job opportunities for our tribal members and to make sure our people have the opportunity to work and receive an education. It’s clear that the casino is helping to fulfill that vision because we had many educated, experienced, and qualified tribal members apply to be the next CEO, so that made our decision difficult,” said Chairman Chief Allan about the Council’s decision. “We are confident that Francis will help us to advance that vision.”

Mr. SiJohn has worked at the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel for nearly a decade/Heather Keen, Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe. More here.
