Date Travel was Approved by OBC:

Narrative/Background:
I requested to attend this conference to participate in the educational sessions and
networking opportunities with other tribal professionals from all across the country.
This was a four-day conference which included keynote speakers, a two-day
tradeshow, a meet and greet event designed for networking, and over thirty breakout
sessions to choose from within these focused tracks:
• Workforce Strategy
• Leadership & Management
• Tribal Gaming & Hospitality Technology
• Tribal Government Technology
• Tribal Health Information Management
• Information Security
I focused my attendance on the Leadership & Management, Tribal Government
Technology, and Information Security tracks which relate to the Secretarial duties for
record keeping and administrative tasks. I’ve highlighted a few of the sessions that I
found informative below.
• Session: Leadership in a Ransomware World – what EVERY leader needs to
know about security and their tribe or tribal enterprise
The speaker was Dave Bailey, President and General Manager of Arctic IT. Mr.
Bailey covered and discussed the impacts of Ransomware As A Service,
Movement to a Telecommuting Environment, AI as the only reasonable way to
digitize large amounts of data, the importance of frequent and realistic
simulation/exercises, and the necessity of having an Incident Response Plan as

it relates to Security Attacks. The majority of the topics reviewed by Mr.
Bailey were things our DTS area is already doing and in the process of
upgrading (i.e. Multi-Factor Authentication, KnowBe4 Security Tips, easy
Phishing reporting).



Session: Supporting and Securing the Remote Workforce
The speaker was John Poling, Privacy Officer for the Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma. Mr. Poling spoke about how tribes are responding and moving
toward a virtual environment and the issues/pitfalls that need to be addressed
and/or avoided. For example, organizations need to consider that each piece
of physical equipment linked to the network as and endpoint and the more
endpoints you have the more risk there is. Generally, networks are only as
secure as the people using them and it’s important to train, education, test,
and train again. Using collaborative tools such as Teams is great, but if you
aren’t using it properly you could leave sensitive files open to all employees.
Most importantly was the need to have IT support adequately funded so they
can do their best to prepare for the inevitable – it’s not a question of if an
organization is attacked, but when, how badly, and how quick is the response.



Session: Change Management – the tools of organized and effective change
The presenter for this session was Christine Pouliot, CEO/Owner of Evocent
Leadership Development. https://evokethepossible.com/ Some key points that
I took away from this session were 1) Change is messy, personal, and
emotional; 2) Change leadership requires authenticity, transparency,
engagement and heart; and 3) Successful change is incremental, adequately
resourced, frequently communicated, and built on trust, empathy, and
respect.



Keynote Presentation: Cybersecurity for your Business
I really enjoyed this presentation from John Iannarelli, FBI Special Agent (Ret).
https://fbijohn.com/ Mr. Innarelli covered street prices of stolen internet
items, deep web, dark web, vulnerability at work and at home [ex. A new,
unprotected device connected to the internet can be compromised in five (5)
minutes], cost/quantity of data breaches, identity theft, phishing,
ransomware, IOT (Internet of Things – car, tv, tablets, thermostats), BEC
(business email compromise), and corporate espionage as well as a review of
tactics that can be implemented to combat and defend against attacks.
Generally, his speech was to raise awareness and advocate for preparedness.

Unfortunately, on the last full day of the convention I was ill and couldn’t attend the
sessions I had planned; thankfully the BC Area Manager was also in attendance, and
we were able to debrief on the sessions she participated that day.
At one of the planned networking events, I had the opportunity to meet Edward
Rangel, Director of IT Operation/Pearl River. Mr. Rangel worked directly with our
Gaming Operations while we implement our sportsbook. He expressed he had a great

Business Committee Travel Report

experience teaming up with Gaming staff and looks forward to any future joint
efforts. I relayed this message to the Gaming General Manager.
The BC Area Manager and I also met with Naviant, the vendor we work with for our
OnBase systems including agenda management. We were able to convey the changes
our Records Management team has experienced since the onset of the pandemic and
the challenges we have identified and continue to address [i.e. roll out of tribal-wide
tools for agenda management has stalled]. Since the time of this meeting, the BC
Area Manager has begun the appropriate follow ups with the Chief Information
Officer, Dr. Archiquette.
Item(s) Requiring Attention:
Change management is an area that has been an ongoing concern; this has only been
exacerbated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations.
Understanding we need to make measured decisions about our resources, I think the
Nation should consider contracting a change management expert or Chief Innovation
Officer. As noted by Ms. Pouliot in the session I attended, “the focus is shifting from
top-down initiatives, centralized change management functions, and
departmentalized efforts to a more holistic approach, with shared responsibility and
change capability at all levels” of an organization. The Nation’s overall lack of
effective change management is concerning. I know and recognize there are areas
that have and do management change effectively, but I think we need a full
organization-wide change in culture.
Requested Action:
1. Approve the travel report from Secretary Lisa Liggins for the 2021 TribalNet
Conference and Tradeshow in Grapevine, TX - November 7-11, 2021
2. Forward the topic of Change Management/Chief Innovation Officer to the July
19, 2022, BC work session for further discussion

RE: OGMICS Chapter 14 Management Review

Review Response Signature Packet Ch 14 Accounting and Audit.pdf
image001.png

Please allow this communication to serve as OGC response to the documented concern/question
presented by Gaming Management in their review of OGMICS Ch 14 Accounting and Audit. As this
document has already been signed by Gaming Management and therefore can not be edited for
OGC’s response.
Concern/Question
(h)(6) Audit reports are maintained and made available to the Commission upon request
and must include the following information
(i) Audit objectives;
(ii) Audit procedures and scope;
(iii) Findings and conclusions;
(iv) Recommendations, if applicable; and
(v) Manager’s response.
Requesting to replace this verbiage with “if requested” rather than if applicable.
OGC Response: The OGC does not believe a change to this language is needed. All audits that are
currently completed may come with any recommendations that may ensure a solution for
compliance such as recommending to update an SOP.
Concern/Question
(h)(9) Follow-up observations and examinations is performed to verify that corrective action
has been taken regarding all instances of non-compliance. The verification is performed within
six (6) months following the date of notification of non-compliance.

Can Gaming Management impose a timeline of corrective action to an audit finding? For
example: Verification is performed within (6) months but no earlier than 30 days following the
date of final notification (Final Audit) of non-compliance. Gaming Compliance researched and
found 30 days to be the average timeframe for corrective action before it is verified by the
auditors.
OGC Response: After further discussion with Gaming Compliance and clarification of the ask,
this verbiage will remain the same.
