Testimonial

Don Benner, human resource director of the Redding Rancheria, joined colleagues Chief Executive Officer Tracy Edwards and Chief Operating Officer Stacey Carmen in completing the Leadership Development Program, a seven-course series dedicated to enhancing organizational effectiveness through the development of effective, inspired leaders.

Don commented, "A number of our tribal members participated in the leadership program because it was an exciting learning opportunity for our team. While we are all very busy, we found it to be an excellent use of our time. We enjoyed the chance to interact with University faculty and community leaders to discuss current government issues and new management techniques."

Don added, "It was great to have taken the time to take a step back and look at how we view ourselves and the people and communities we serve. I have been able to use a number of the creative approaches we covered to improve my day-to-day management of 150 employees, resulting in better communication and service."
