This totals 24 years of work ex perience as a supervisory or manager within the Tribal Or ganization. There have been a number of management workshops, training and seminars that were also given to me while in the senior management positions that I have held. In addition to this organiza tional training I have been a part of other organizational related committees and appointments: Alcohol Drug Council — 25+ years Jefferson county 509J School Board — 18 years Oregon School Board Asso ciation — 10 years (currently President of the OSBA) National School Board Asso ciation — Currently Policy & Resolution Committee Member Served on Two Oregon Gov ernors Board on Alcohol and Drugs I have served on three Or- ■ s'Y ' •' ■'•' v " ■-,- p w r w 9 \< • ■' i' / ............... mm s <■ / 'w' y V « egon State Task Force on Education issues as well as school board issues. Such as Site Council, Minority Issues within School Districts and the State Vocational Rehab Reform. I have served as the Co- Chairman for the Jefferson County Community Task Force on race relations be tween Native Americans and Hispanics. I believe this combination of work experience, knowl edge, training and committee’s appointments have given me the tools in which to effectively perform the duties and responsibilities for Tribal Council. I have worked on both the Secretary Treasure and Op erations side of the tribal gov ernment. I have held respon sible management position on both sides of the tribal op erations. This organizational insight has given me the op portunity to see both sides of our organization. I was then appointed to the position of being the Staff Analyst for the Secre tary Treasurer I was involved with Personnel Compliance, Salary Administration, Per sonnel Manual Develop ment, Program Analyst for Coordination. This position reported directly to the Sec retary Treasurer office for direction and responsibility. I believe that my strong personal work ethics, my be liefs of accountability and consequences from all em ployees and managers is one of my many strong points as a manager. Another area is in our pro gram service delivery system that must meet the quality and quantity standard set by the community membership, as well as the organizational is essential. A third area is my belief that the fiscal control of programs and services must stay within the fiscal constrains placed upon our financial resources. Je ff Sanders • • • - • ■ , P3ge 9 Mgrch 29, 2007 Jeff Sanders Sr. This resume is being sub mitted to support my qualifi cations for the position for the Tribal council from the Agency District of Tribal Warm Springs Confederated Tribes. Included in my re sume are positions for which I have received my work ex perience. First of all I am an en rolled member of the Warm Springs Confederated Tribes, and have been a resident of the district; I was born here at Warm Springs and I have raised my family here in the community. I have been a Tribal em ployee and have been work ing for the Tribal government since 1960 in one capacity or, another within the Tribal Government Operations without a break in service. I have held many positions as an employee, supervisor and branch manager within the Tribal Organization for the past forth-seven years of my employment with the organi zation. The many work experience and managerial and supervi sory positions that I have held has been very diversified through out my employment career with the organization. Most of my work experi ences have started from an entry-level position with pro motions to the supervisory or management position within the office/program. The following is a listing of employee positions and committees that I have held within the tribal organization: I Mary Sando- Emhoolah/ Niix Pa Chwai, good day to everyone! My Indian name is Laxaiya; I am named after my grandmother, Eva Polk. My mother was Bertha Mitchell Stevens and my fa ther was Frank Don Stevens Sr. I am Wasco, Warm Springs and Aleut. I grew up here and I am a Traditional Food gath- erer for the Agency Longhouse. Our family was raised hunting, fishing, eeling, root digging and berry pick ing, both huckleberries and working in the strawberry, raspberry and blackberry fields prior to the establish ment of child labor laws. We were taught to respect our resources, that if we took care of them, they would take care of us. Protection of our culture, cultural re sources and protection of our Treaty Rights and Tribal Sovereignty are important issues for all tribal members and the children that will carry on after us. We were taught to be as self-sufficient as possible and to help take care of our elders, pack wood and water for them and share whatever we gathered. My husband and I own Emhoolah Trucking. We are an independent trucking com pany that works around the state of Oregon. We com pleted the small business de velopment program through ONABEN and qualified for a tribal grant and loan to start our business. We appreciate the assistance we received from the Confederated Tribes and have worked to maintain our business as an example of being self-suffi cient as independent business owners based on the reserva tion. There were many others in the class we completed, all with good ideas for businesses on the reservation. It is a shame that the Small Business Devel opment center was closed; it was a vital resource to community people wanting to learn more about being in business for themselves and becoming more self-reliant. My husband Mike and I share information with others on our experiences owning our own business. I would like to see a tribal resource available for people who would like to being their own businesses in our com munity. I also feel there are job op portunities available in construc tion and other reservation projects that would employ our tribal members. A tribal hiring quota needs to be built into the contracts when they are being negotiated so our local people will have an opportunity to work, not sitting on the sidelines watching others earn a living on our Reservation while our work ers are unemployed. We have tribal member hiring priority in the organization and it should include community develop ment and other tribal projects as well. I have worked for the tribe in various departments, including KWSO for 15 years. Communication with our community is really impor tant, the radio station, the newspaper Spilyay Tymoo, community meetings and regular updates on tribal is sues is an important area that I am hoping Tribal Council will continue to work on as a priority. As a journalist, I am not afraid to ask questions and will work to understand the complex issues that the Tribal Council deals with on a daily basis for the tribal member ship. There are many impor tant issues, education, eco nomic development, youth and elders, cultural resource preservation, communica tions, etc. Each nominee is one voice at the table. Tribal Council needs to work to gether for all of the tribal membership. I wish all the candidates good luck and whomever we elect, let’s sup port and work with them for the benefit of all of us as tribal members. I encourage all eligible tribal members to get out and exercise your right to vote, es pecially our young tribal mem ber voters. Let your voices be heard and consider carefully your representatives for Tribal Council. They will carry your voices forward and act on your behalf, choose well. Paayuqwathanii, Thank you.
