It has been said of service organizations that the services provided are only as good as the quality of the employees providing those ser- coUncil vices. There is a great deal of truth in this statement. In fact, the Pawnee Nation has made major strides in recent times memBers to ensure the highest quality of personnel, staff and services are provided to Pawnee tribal members. President: In the years I worked across the country for Indian Health George E.

In serving as President, I ask no less of any individual seeking employment with the Nation! Secretary: The central purpose of working for the Nation is meeting the needs of our tribal members by giving Linda Jestes them the highest level our resources can make possible. This includes the quality of the staff working for the tribe. We want and encourage people to bring their skills, experience, talents, energy, educa- Treasurer: tion, training, innovativeness, and fresh ideas to the positions in the Nation for which they apply. To offer anything less, is doing a disservice to the Pawnee Nation tribal members. Roy Taylor We can take great pride in the quality of staff and all employees currently serving the Pawnee Nation!
