"I am deeply honored and humbled to take on the additional responsibilities as Vice Chair of the National Indian Gaming Commission," Isom-Clause said.
Vice Chair Isom-Clause was appointed to the Commission by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell.
"As the Commission moves forward as a collaborative team, I am conscious of the significant and vital work that must be accomplished. I will continue to ensure that the Commission remains adherent not only to the sound implementation of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, but I also commit to maintaining and building strong relationships with tribes and tribal regulators," Clause remarked.
In accordance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the Commission selects a Vice Chair by majority vote. The Vice Chair serves as Chair during meetings of the Commission in the absence of the Chair.
