Dai sla. Hello and welcome to the Winter 2025 Edition of Tribal Gaming and Hospitality Magazine. My name is Brady Scott and I’m the chair of the editorial board.
For so many of us, the start of a new calendar year is a great time to reset as well as recommit to our goals for our organizations. We have twenty articles this issue that address operational issues and industry updates that our readers have said are top of mind. Social media and digital advertising tools, creating an “everyone sells” philosophy, hospitality trends and fads and more, we’ve got them covered.
This issue’s operator story highlights Jamul Casino in Southern California, with a candid Q&A with Chairwoman Erica Pinto currently of the Jamul Indian Village of California.
Finally, I also wanted to let you know that TG&H is also a proud sponsor of a very important annual industry event coming up January 28, 2025 – now’s the time to get involved. Raving NEXT: Indian Gaming Strategic Operations & Leadership Conference has tribal leadership from across the U.S. along with senior gaining operators. The conversations are candid and the learning is unmatched. I hope you will join us at the end of the month. Please visit www.ravingnext.com for more information.
On behalf of the editorial board, the team at Raving and TG&H Thank you to our subscribers and to our advertisers for your continued readership and support. Here’s to a new year filled with opportunity, peace and joy.
Tsu tse wass and so long for now.
Brady Scott
