We sadly observed the death of President Jimmy Carter in (2024)

We sadly observed the death of President Jimmy Carter in

2024. Not only did the President sign our Restoration Act on

November 18, 1977, he called our Chairman Art Bensell to offer

congratulations as we celebrated at our Restoration Powwow.

The tribal council worked tirelessly over the years to be rid of

the tribes Consent Decree that occurred in 1980 when we had to

submit a Reservation plan. After negotiating an agreement with

the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), having

Congressional legislation passed, having the agreement vacated

in the District Court and finally having ODFW remove the official

rule we got rid of the Consent Decree. This action removed all

the obstacles that was created after the Restoration Act. The

tribal council, our staff, legal counsel and staff at ODFW along

with the support of Governor Kate Brown were able to achieve

what were initially told was an impossible task.

The tribe was very fortunate to be able to purchase land at

Table Rock where our historic 1853 treaty was signed. We are the

proud owners of a beautiful historical sight. Many of you have

heard the ancestor’s stories that have been passed down through

the generations of the battle at Table Rock. We will be having a

ceremony to celebrate in the coming year.

2024 was a very good year for our tribe, thanks to our

employees and volunteers who provide important and meaningful services to our membership.

(this average is with our per capita

Court Staff: One chief judge, with

one associate judge; also a Community

Court judge (vacant), one full-time court

administrator, and one half-time deputy

court administrator.

Development

Funding: The court is maintained

with monies from the annual Excess

Pledge Revenue (EPR) funds, and Bureau

of Indian Affairs (BIA) funds. Tribal

Court also received an additional court

improvement grant this year. The project

funds provided by the BIA.

Case Management: Tribal Court

continually strives to meet the challenge

of new categories of cases and complexity

of subject matter. For the year 2024, the

court has seen a slight increase in caseload, and with per capita cases, the caseload was still down about 40 cases from

the prior years’ average. The per capita

withholding ordinance was approved by

Tribal Council for 2024, increasing the

court’s caseload by 191 cases.

The court is open and holds hearings in person, maintaining the option

to appear via telephone. The court staff

work in conjunction with the Chief Judge,

creating new or modifying existing forms

relevant to the ever-changing

case criteria.

Subject matter continues to be

increasingly complex with regard to

employment, and personal injury cases

out of Chinook Winds; and other matters

ranging from contract cases to enrollment matters, and any other case that

falls within the jurisdictional boundaries

of the Siletz Tribal Court.

Tribal Court continues using

Laserfiche, a document imaging program

for storing files. The records are easily searched and printed

from the storage of Laserfiche files. Records not on Laserfiche

are our juvenile records, as we keep hard copy files indefinitely

at this time.

Training: Tribal Court promotes educational enhancement

for the judicial and court staff through attendance and participation in trainings and workshops relative to Tribal Court

issues, when funding permits.

Tribal Court participates with neighboring courts and agencies to create and maintain a good working relationship.

The National Judicial College (NJC) in Reno, Nev., continues to be one of our most valued resources for judicial training.

Spokespersons are encouraged to gain as much legal education as they can. As funding and schedule allows, Tribal Court

sponsors continuing legal education for spokespersons.

Public Relations: Representing litigants in Tribal Court

matters is a pool of nine active Tribal spokespersons, one Tribal

member (non-attorney); five independent attorneys; two attorneys with Legal Aid Services of Oregon (Newport Branch);

and one attorney with Legal Aid Services of Oregon, (Portland

Branch); and one attorney with Legal Aid Services of Oregon

(Pendleton Regional Office)

Tribal Court Enhancement: Tribal Court’s judges have

attended trainings at the National Judicial College in Reno,

Nev., using grant funds specified for judge training.

A Laserfiche server was purchased with grant funds, enlarging the storage ability of tribal court, to both store and share

documents using Laserfiche.

Funds were received, though not yet used, to contract with

Legal Aid Services of Oregon (LASO) to provide limited legal

assistance to court litigants. Litigants must meet criteria of

LASO to be eligible for legal assistance. Referrals have been

made, but apparently, did not meet the criteria for help

from LASO.

Monies have been used from the grant to purchase needed

court supplies.

writer have secured millions in grant

funding to support energy-focused and

infrastructure projects.

These grants have helped Tribal

households access energy-efficient

appliances and advanced renewable

energy efforts to promote Tribal

sovereignty, including solar and

battery storage initiatives. The

department continues to seek funding

for sustainability, public services

and culturally rooted infrastructure

development across the Siletz community.

Summary

Bow Fisher taking a walk following the Head Start graduation

The Planning Department is entering

an exciting new phase of project delivery,

grounded in data-driven strategies and

enhanced technological capabilities. With

increased staff capacity, deeper data

analysis tools and advanced GIS systems,

the department is positioned to effectively

support Council priorities.

These include vital infrastructure

upgrades, expanded transportation

options, and more strategic utility and

land-use planning. Newly acquired

technologies allow for improved spatial

data management and mapping, while

stronger cross-departmental and

community partnerships ensure planning

efforts are inclusive, efficient, and aligned

with the Tribe’s long-term vision for

growth and sustainability.

11-county service area this year:

• 37 Siletz area children

• 6 Eugene area children

• 10 Salem area children

• 15 Portland area children

• 16 Siletz children at the Tenas Illahee

Child Care Center

Head Start: Under DeAnn Brown, Head Start Director, the

Siletz Tribal Head Start team experienced another year of successful early learning programming. The Head Start program

prepares 3 and 4-year olds for entering kindergarten. This teams

sets the foundation of learning throughout the lifespan for our

tribal families. The Siletz Tribe has four head start classrooms,

located in Siletz, Lincoln City, Portland and Salem, and all are

known for their outstanding programming and staff.

Under DeAnn’s experienced leadership, her team of skilled

curriculum specialist and classroom teachers, each Tribal Head

Start classroom provides developmentally appropriate curriculum, health screening, and bus service transportation for

students. Our Head Start classrooms offer a culturally enriched

and creative environment, complete with Siletz Dee-ni language

lessons, regular cultural activities, family engagement opportunities and Kindergarten transition assistance.

This year, three of our four Tribal Head Start classrooms

were fully staffed and open full time for students (Siletz, Salem

& Lincoln City). Our Portland classroom remained closed during this time due to circumstances outside our control. From

September 2023 – June 2024, 51 children were enrolled across

our three open locations.

Administrative: Kelly Lane, our Cultural & Education

Programs Administrative Assistant, aided in our department

successes, by keeping our department organized, maintaining

our bills and working alongside staff at all of our major events

Kelly was there to set up, work the event and take down. Kelly

reconciled all monthly credit card statements for the Program

Director and assisted other team members for their reconciliations. She received and organized all submitted Education

Committee Scholarships for committee review, assisting with

Oregon Tribal Student Grant verification by term, and attending

all department committee meetings.

This year, Kelly took on the task of ordering department

furniture and updating all required safety items for our department. Kelly is responsible for the weekly processing and

accounting for all Education and Cultural program bills and

special projects.

Education: The Education Team has four skilled Education

Specialists. One Education Specialist is located in each of our

tribal area offices to best serve the membership in the 11-county

service area and beyond. Our staff provides a multitude of services to our members to better provide them with educational

support in both primary school and secondary schooling services, Head Start through grade 12, who reside in the 11 county

service areas.

From individual services to group events, each Education

Specialist designs and delivers services and programming with

great care. Education Specialists provide advocacy, tutoring, recreational, leadership and cultural activities to the tribal youth in

the areas they serve. They implement activities to assist students

at their current grade levels as well as to prepare students for

postsecondary education.

11

Education specialists assist tribal students pursing bachelor and associate degrees as well as those enrolled in vocational training or trade programs, internally referred to as

Job Placement & Training programs. They work with colleges

and universities in the United States and beyond on behalf of

tribal students. Sonya Moody-Jurado (Salem), Katy Holland

(Portland), Candace Hill (Eugene), Jeff Sweet (Siletz), worked to

provide meaningful programs for tribal students of all ages.

The Education Program hosts many cultural and youth

events throughout the year. Some of these events include:

Tribal Youth Conference: In partnership with the Youth

Services Coordinator, the Youth Services (Health & Human

Services team; Behavioral Health team; & additional support

staff) team, Education staff designed and delivered a successful

annual Tribal Youth Conference to our tribal youth. This is an

all-hands-on-deck activity, which would not happen without the

support of several departments. The group contracted with guest

keynote speaker Chance Rush and offered workshops around

health & wellness. Over the course of the two-day conference, we

had 55 engaged tribal youth in attendance.

Family Literacy Nights: With a grant from the Oregon

Department of Education aimed at helping Tribes recover /

heal from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Education Specialists

designed and implemented 19 Family Literacy Night events

(approximately 5 per area) – all of which encouraged the family

to read together. These events, served 920 tribal participants.

Digital Reading Device distribution: With a grant from

the Oregon Department of Education aimed at helping Tribes

recover/heal from the COVID-19 pandemic, staff designed programming aimed at bringing families together, while elevating

the importance of literacy. To pair with traditional books and

board games, staff distributed digital reading devices to provide

students with a platform to build their reading skills. 460 Tribal

Member youth were served via this program.

College Information Nights: Our program hosted Higher

Education & Job Placement Student Program Overview/

Orientation session; Oregon Tribal Student Grant outreach &

JOM Parent Committee meetings. We worked together to design

four comprehensive College Information Nights for the Tribal

Membership. College Information nights proved to be a great

space for participants to ask questions and gain insight into the

college process.

JOM School Supply Stipend: Education staff offered school

supply gift cards to enrolled JOM students, for the 2024-2025

academic year. At $75 per gift card, per student, this program

assisted families in purchasing school supplies for their students.

585 students were served through this outreach and $43,875

was expended.

Student Laptop Stipend Program: Education Specialists

issued laptop stipends to eligible Tribal Member college students for the 2024-2025 academic year. This program works to

meet the technology need of each student. 40 Tribal Member

students were served and $40,000.00 of Bureau of Indian

12

Affairs Self Governance Carry-over funds

was expended.

Education Committee: The

Education Committee provides opportunities for all Tribal Members to establish

independence and improve the quality of

life through education and lifelong learning. With Melissa Butler as the committee

chair and Alissa Lane-Keene as the staff

representative, the committee assisted

in the design and implementation of the

Student Gathering in Salem Oregon,

reviewed and awarded $1,500.00 in scholarships that benefited three tribal students

attending postsecondary education programs throughout the year, the Education

Committee provided input and perspectives on education services, and processes.

– ensuring the event cycle continued

without interruption. Buddy planned and

executed six major tribal events and commented on 186 requests

from outside agencies.

History & Archeology Specialist Peter Hatch and Historical

resources. Historical Research Clerk Marci Simmons continued

her work transcribing important historical manuscripts. Marci

also searches for information in old transcripts for Culture

department staff for projects. Marci is a vital team member and

the work she does proves invaluable to our department.

Cultural Education & Events: The Culture department

welcomed AJ Warren to our team in May 2024. As the Cultural

Education Manager, AJ Warren plans and implements the Tribe’s

families, and serving 1450 lunches (over the three days). Another

great success was our Nesika Illahee Pow-wow in August, where

he housed 46 vendors; employed and oversaw 51 temporary

workers and served 475 lbs. of salmon to our guests.

Our Annual Run to the Rogue event was planned and ready

for implementation, with a new date of May/June– which proved

to be a successful time of year for the run. Changing this event to

the late Spring, we avoided active wild fires and/or smoke from

fires. Over 300 individuals participated in this year’s Run.

The Culture Committee awarded 84 Individual Cultural

Enhancement grants during spring and fall. With assistance

from area education staff, the Cultural Resources Manager &

The Social and Human Services Department (SHSD), formerly Programs I, oversees the 477 Self-Sufficiency (477), Elders

Title VI, Elders Council, Indian Child Welfare (ICW), Siletz Tribal

Home Visiting, Siletz Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation (STVRP),

and USDA programs. Together, these programs offer a range of

services to help the Siletz membership lead successful and fulfilling lives. We submitted the 2025-27 477-SSP Plan for review and

it was approved, including a 30% cost-of-living increase.

Additionally, we are excited to introduce the integration of

USDA and Vocational Rehabilitation programs into our services.

This will simplify the application process, creating a “one-stop

shop” where clients can access services with minimal disruptions. It will reduce duplicate documentation requirements and

avoid delays, while lowering the costs associated with providing

these services.

SHSD saw a combination of retirements, resignations, new

hires, and important positions left unfilled. Although we continue

to face some staffing challenges, we are hopeful that in the coming year, our team will be stronger, better trained, and equipped

to meet the needs of our community. A major goal for the year

was to recruit and hire transporters across all four service areas,

Alissa Lane showing a group of kids how to weave a basket

and this was successfully accomplished. As

a result, more elders were able to participate in events tailored for them.

Additionally, we’ve seen an increase in

attendance at the monthly Elders Council

meetings, which is an indication of growing

engagement and participation. This year,

the staff successfully achieved our goal of

increasing attendance and participation in

the program. To make engagement easier

and reduce barriers like long-distance

travel and childcare, we offered hybrid

workshops, allowing participants to join

remotely via Zoom or attend in person.

Each area office is required to host

three workshops per year, with residents

from that area expected to attend in person. However, all other 477 participants

had the option to join virtually, though

they could choose to attend in person if

preferred. The workshops offered included

the Linking Generations program, the

Increasing Your Success (IYS) Conference,

and a Parenting Workshop Series.

In addition to these educational

opportunities, participants also enjoyed

cultural and holiday-themed activities,

such as the Easter egg hunt, Pumpkin

Patch outings, and a children’s craft night

for making Christmas presents.

During summer, our TYEE and Intern

programs achieved great success, offering valuable opportunities for 59 youth

to participate and complete placements

at various worksites, including: Culture

Camp, a gym, Administration, the Lego

store, and the YMCA. One standout intern,

J. Fisher, a 52-year-old Siletz Tribal

Member, joined the Summer Intern Grant

program and worked in the Education

Department at Portland area office (PAO).

She assisted the Education Specialist with

summer youth activities, helped with filing, planning, and organizing activities

for the participants. Additionally, two

Siletz clients successfully completed their

Summer Internships, further contributing

to the success of the program.

Our Elders Program offers a variety

of opportunities to help elders maintain a

healthy lifestyle, including social engage-

ment, emotional support, physical activities, and transportation to events. One of

our most popular programs is the Elders

WEX Program, which provides 10 elders

with the chance to reenter the workforce

in a field of their choice.

To help reduce isolation, we offer

20 pairs of tickets to events at Chinook

Winds Casino and Resort (CWCR) on a

first-come, first-served basis, often with a

long waitlist. This year, our elders enjoyed

a range of events, including King of the

Cage, Diamond Rio, Don Felder, Village

People and many others.

Our elders also participated in cultural

and recreational activities such as Elders

Honor Day at Siletz, Grand Ronde, and

Coos-Coquille, Run to the Rogue, Summer

BBQ, fishing, Culture Camp, Pow Wow,

Restoration, and ended the year with our

holiday party.

Our Meals on Wheels program provides warm meals to homebound Siletz

elders. Elders residing outside of Siletz

receive the same service through volunteers in their respective areas. In the

fall, our congregate meal site reopened,

offering a variety of healthy and nutritious warm meals to all elders in Siletz on

Tuesdays and Thursdays.

ICW continues to collaborate closely with state and tribal

partners to identify families at risk of abuse or neglect, assess

eligibility under ICWA, and work together to understand family

strengths, barriers, and other factors impacting their situation.

ICW actively participates in investigations, advocating for families and identifying culturally appropriate services, resources,

and safety plans when needed.

This approach helps strengthen families, prevent unnecessary removals, and reduce barriers to reunification. By shortening the time children spend out of the home we aim to improve

their long-term outcomes. The Siletz Child Protection Team

meets monthly to review cases and make decisions that guide the

department’s work. This interdisciplinary team brings a range of

perspectives and expertise, strengthening the efforts of ICW.

A continuing concern for ICW staff is

that 90% of ICW cases involve parental

substance abuse, with methamphetamine

and fentanyl being the most prevalent

substances. Resulting in, the age of children entering care becoming younger,

with infants and toddlers being especially

vulnerable to neglect and exposure to

parental substance abuse.

The Tribal Home Visiting Program

provides parenting and life skills training

to support successful and positive parenting. We serve native families who are

either expecting or have children up to the

age of three. The model we use is Family

Spirit, developed by the Johns Hopkins

Center for Indigenous Health. This program includes home visits tailored to each

participant, based on where they are in

the lesson cycle. Visits can occur weekly,

bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on

individual needs.

This year, we piloted Family Spirit

Thrive, extending the curriculum to

include children aged three to five. We

also increased our outreach and attendance at local events, which helped raise

awareness of our home visiting program

and contributed to new client enrollments.

The STVRP aims to support at-risk

youth between the ages of 16 and 24 who

Reggie Butler Jr., singing at the

16

are seeking employment. This age group, which includes young

adults with special needs, often aspires to find suitable employment but may require intensive mentorship, adult basic education, career and technical training, and hands-on experience

through specialized projects at local universities and colleges.

By partnering with independent living agencies, brokerages,

and community transition program staff, we can better serve

students with significant disabilities and their families, while

ensuring compliance with the regulations of the Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Throughout the year, STVRP staff attended the annual

Oregon Transitions Conference, conducted community outreach,

and forged connections with local vendors to offer a variety of

services to all federally recognized tribal members. These services

included driver’s education, life coaching, social and communication skills training for the workplace, and health and wellness programs. Additionally, STVRP, Oregon State Vocational

Rehabilitation, and various vendors participated in conferences

and webinars to receive training on providing evidence-based

programming and strategies for supporting transitional and atrisk youth.

In the past, our United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA) program faced shortages due to changes within the federal administration. However, driven by a strong commitment to

“feed our people,” our USDA team found solutions by partnering

with local growers and community-based organizations to provide fresh produce and vegetables to fill the gap.

Currently, we have a total of 217 certified homes across the

Siletz and Salem distribution centers. Additionally, there are 28

certifications for Grand Ronde and 25 for other tribal families.

We anticipate expanding our distribution to the Eugene Area

Office once they move to their new location.

Through the Local Food Purchase Agreement (LFPA) grant,

our program can purchase products and more from local produc-

with their kids at Family Literacy Night

ers. This not only benefits our program

but also provides a valuable opportunity

for the community by boosting the local

economy and supplying food to underserved, low-income households.

Our nutrition education program

introduced a “Recipe of the Month” feature in the monthly tribal newsletters, and

Marci has been conducting cooking demonstrations using commodities while sharing recipes with participating households.

In Salem, we dehydrated canned peaches

and apricots for participants to sample,

along with a recipe they could try at home.

In our 2025 plan, the Nutritional

Education Classes will collaborate with

477 workshops to help participants learn

about healthy eating, how to use the products distributed, and to expand our pool of

participating families.

We’re excited about the upcoming

developments within our departments.

Our recruitment efforts have successfully

brought in a team of knowledgeable and

compassionate staff, while our partnerships with local agencies and growers will

ensure access to fresh, quality products.

Additionally, our elders will have more

opportunities to socialize and connect.

of services for all ages across the lifespan and is moving. The

majority of services go towards supporting elders, Harm

Reduction in HIV/STI prevention and treatment and Tobacco

Prevention and Commercial and Traditional education including filling major gaps in transportation to non-emergency medical appointments.

Community Health advocates serve Portland, Salem, Eugene

and Siletz. They provide support services through home visits,

office visits and community events; and work on a variety of

health and wellness topics, including diabetes, medical transports, proper car seat installation and much more. Services are

individualized to meet the needs of Tribal members.

partnership with the region, specifically Lincoln County, to provide services to reduce the rate of HIV, other STIs and over-doses

in our community.

Tel-tvm’ Farm Program

In 2023 the Siletz Farm produced

6,531 pounds of fresh produce and in

2024, our second growing season, the

Siletz Farm produced 13,146 pounds of

fresh produce (101% Increase). All of the

food harvested and produced by the program is distributed at no-charge to Tribal

members, the Siletz Valley Charter School,

other CTSI program collaborations, and

on-farm visitors as a preventative health

service for our community. Creative collaborations and distribution channels

include the Siletz Valley Charter School.

In 2023 the Tel-tvm’ distributed 446

Food Sovereignty Boxes to the membership. In 2024 this distribution increased

to 591 total of boxes (33% Increase).

Tracey Viar at Winter All-Staff

The Food Sovereignty Box Program is a service that works

directly with Tribal Members and their families. Weekly during

the growing season, the Siletz Farm harvests, washes, and packs

fresh produce boxes that include seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Each box includes 5-10 different items produced on-farm, recipes

and information relevant to items in the boxes.

Tribal members work with farm staff and volunteers to signup and pick-up food boxes each week as boxes are available.

During the summer months, TYEE youth participants help

operate the FS Box Program learning how to plan operations,

harvest a wide variety or produce, and interact with individuals

that are picking up from the Siletz Farm.

In 2024, our team made significant improvements to our

property aesthetics, including the completion of the floor bar,

the installation of new digital signage inside and outside the

building, and the beginning of the much-needed new siding on

the main building.

Throughout the year, the team remained focused on enhancing customer service and embracing our BEACH core values. By

adapting to change in a positive way, we continued to elevate the

guest experience and maintain a high standard of service excellence across the property.

We also saw an increase in convention

space bookings that included our continued partnership with the Western Billiard

Congress of America (BCA) pool tournament. Their league hosts two events annually at Chinook Winds and brings in more

than 1,200 pool players each event.

Community partnerships included

the Neighbors for Kids Golf tournament,

Tillamook County Fair, Siletz Pow-Wow,

“Stuff a Bus” for Backpacks for Kids,

Angels Ball, and Celebration of Honor. We

initiated a new sponsorship with Friends

of Lincoln City Parks to host the Inaugural

Lincoln City Cornhole Tournament. This

event attracted over 200 cornhole players from around the Pacific Northwest

and media coverage. The rebuilding of the

beach stairs north of the hotel and the use

of the monument sign on 101 strengthened

our position of being a community leader.

Marketing

Marketing’s primary goal for 2024 was to increase traffic

through a multifaceted strategy of expanding events and entertainment while enhancing engagement via interactive promotions, social media, and branding. Headline entertainment was

restructured into two single-night shows.

This allowed for more variety and brought stars spanning multiple decades to the Chinook Winds showroom. Our

lineup included the Frontmen, Diamond Rio, Rick Springfield,

War, Rodney Carrington, The Temptations, Mavericks, Hotel

California, Billy Ocean, LoCash, Tommy James and Blac Rabbit.

Promotions started the year with our “Silverado Key Match”

giveaway which culminated in a grand finale on Super Bowl

Sunday. Many of our promotions from “Hardly a Holiday”,

“Saturday Morning Toonaments”, “The Eliminator” to “Red-Light

Green-Light” provided the opportunity for fun interactive play

and social media engagement. We utilized promotions like the

“9-5 double point multiplier” to drive guests to specific areas of

our gaming floor to highlight new or fan favorite machines.

In June, we celebrated our 29th anniversary month with an

exciting car giveaway and fireworks. The festivities included an

Elite Card Member party on the upper deck of the parking garage

as well as a DJ showroom experience to entice our guests to stay

and play.

We continued the summer with our Signature Outdoor

events. In July, Beach, Bacon and Brews had another record year

and raised more than $10,000 for Lincoln County charities. In

August, Surf City Weekend raised more than $19,000 for Angels

Anonymous and was host to a fun and successful “Surf City Cash

Grab” promotion for our gaming guests.

Operations

For 2024, Slots had a phenomenal

year, we saw more than a 5% increase in

slot win and a 4.9% increase in net income

over 2023. We focused on changing the

configuration of our floor, increasing the

amount of overhead slot game signage,

and created more slot pods instead of

just in line slot banks. Over the course of

the year, we purchased or converted over

200 of our titles on the floor to ensure our

guests have the best machines possible

to play. We also created a test bank area

near the entrance to the casino that has

the latest titles from our manufacturers

and gives our players something to play

that isn’t at our competitors’ casinos. We

plan to continue this forward progress and

expect a great 2025.

Table Games also had a great year, our

revenue increased by 6.92% and our net

income increased by 43.34% over 2023.

We completed three large poker tournaments in 2024, held multiple dealer

schools, and we moved the pit to the back

of the casino to draw our players in to create more excitement in the middle of the

gaming floor. For 2025 we will be installing a table games progressive system on

10 of our games to help drive revenue for

the year.

24

The Bingo department had its fourthbest year since we opened our doors.

Bingo had a slow start in the first six

months, but our revenues and headcounts

were strong during the second half of the

year. Our processes are getting better and

smoother for our large sessions, and we

plan to continue to improve on this to

make 2025 a better year.

Information Technology (IT)

In 2024, the IT Team’s main focus was

to improve our cyber security posture by

improving our infrastructure, user training and more security layers to our IT

environment. We implemented the following things to achieve our goals:

• Replaced our old and obsolete firewall

with new one

• Replaced many old network switches

• Implemented Knowbe4 tool to test and

educate our users for cyber security

• Migrated all servers to new hardware

• We upgraded our system backup

system with more robust system and

implemented cloud backup as additional protection

• Implemented network monitoring tool

• Implemented Ninjaone to patch and

update our servers and user PC’s

Golf Course

At the golf course we saw another

successful year, building on our success

from the previous year. We are continuing

to offer new golf clubs for rentals. This is

something we feel that if we can get new

golf clubs into the hands of our golfing

guests, they will be more likely to make

equipment purchases. With our partnership, the new rental golf clubs are provided to us by the manufacturer at no cost

to Chinook Winds. We continued to offer

our golf guests opportunities to participate

in fun tournaments throughout the golf

season. We continue to explore different

items for the pro-shop, hoping that we

can appeal to all of our golf guests. As we

begin 2025, we are exploring different

revenue generating opportunities.

For the year 2024 compared to 2023:

• Greens Fees decreased 16%

• Carts and Equipment rentals increased 163%

• Equipment Sales increased 79%

• Clothing Sales decreased 10%

• Fitness sales increased 10%

• Total sales increased 24%

Food and Beverage

Over the past year, in efforts to increase Winner’s Circle

members and drive food and beverage sales, we’ve collaborated

with our marketing team to introduce seasonal food and drink

specials at both the Rogue and Chinook Seafood Grill. The

response from our guests has been outstanding. We continue to

update and refresh our menus across all outlets so that we stay

competitive and current on trends, offering a blend of new items

alongside tried-and-true guest favorites. Both restaurant wine

lists were refreshed, maintaining our focus on showcasing primarily Oregon wines, which continues to be a highlight for our

guests. Double Down, our coffee kiosk, continues to expand on

new offerings, now featuring fruit and vegetable smoothies as

well as cold brew drinks to cater to a variety of tastes.

Additionally, the floor bar underwent an extensive remodel

to enhance both the working environment for our team and the

service we provide to guests. The new setup includes three fully

equipped workstations, each with its own beer taps, soda and

liquor guns, ice wells, and Point of Sale (POS) systems within

arm’s reach for improved efficiency. Throughout the year, we’ve

had the honor and pleasure of hosting numerous prestigious

events throughout property, to include hosting a unique dining

experience for the Governor and Tribal Council, customizing

tailored dinners for our tiered players, and many other exciting

gatherings that helped create lasting memories for our guests.

Human Resources: What a year 2024 was! We made so many

wonderful memories with our team members throughout the

year, during our monthly team member appreciation celebrations (and years of service awards), the Summer Team Member

Elders woodcut volunteers after a good days work

Summer Circus, Team Member Poker

Tournament, Golf Tournament, and our

Team Member Family Holiday Party!

In addition to these events HR heads up

Spring and Fall SOLV beach clean ups

which allow team members and community members to work together. This

raffle at the Summer Circus and Holiday

Event raised almost $6,500 for the North

Lincoln Volunteer Foundation and the

Children’s Advocacy Center.

In 2024 we made great strides in all

things Paylocity. We are still learning new

ways of using Paylocity daily. Last year

in addition to the conversion activities,

our team members all opened self-service

accounts and did annual benefit enrollment in the system too!

Changes in employee benefits in

2023/2024 included improvements on

medical insurance deductibles and prescriptions. We continue to benchmark our

benefits and compensation to make sure

we are competitive and are in line with

current industry standards.

In 2024 we completed the all manager

and supervisor training programs that

began in 2023. We also conducted periodic training for team members on Visibly

Intoxicated Persons, CPR, De-escalation

Techniques, Active Shooter, Blood Born

Pathogens, and Wound Care (thank you to

our Security Staff).

Congratulations to our CWCR Human

Resource team! This includes, Jennifer

Reasoner, Cody Cole, and Casey Cox

attended the National Native American

Human Resource Association classes and

received their Tribal Human Resource

Certifications (THRP).

Childcare Center

In February 2024 we opened our

Childcare Center to our team members.

As an intentional slow growth, we kept

it to team member children until midsummer. Since then, we have opened the

center to our hotel guests and all Casino

guests with Winner Circle Card. Later in

the summer, we began extended hours,

which included staying open until 8 p.m.

on the Friday and Saturday nights, and

26

extended hours on Headline Entertainment nights. As a result,

we are seeing increasing numbers in the number of children

visiting our Center!

Hotel

This year, the hotel focused on driving transient revenue, increasing rooms

sold, and minimizing out-of-order room

nights. We made strategic adjustments to

our direct marketing pricing and targeted

midweek sales during shoulder seasons to

boost bookings and enhance revenue.

Additionally, we welcomed a new

Revenue Manager to revitalize our processes and introduce innovative strategies.

Moving forward, the hotel will maintain

its commitment to delivering exceptional

guest service to every individual we serve.
