The tribe has operated from a temporary facility since July 2021. George left the organization to become president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority, which is developing the Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain, N.C. Tecumseh takes over for Kathy George, who resigned in October after serving for five years as CEO of FireKeepers and another five years as general manager and vice president of hotel operations. “He has been instrumental in FireKeepers’ recent achievements and we are confident that with his communication and leadership skills, the team will build upon those successes ensuring that FireKeepers remains the casino, hotel and employer of choice.” “Frank brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership with him to this position,” Jamie Stuck, tribal council chairperson of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi, said in a statement. Additionally, he’s a board member on the Southwest Michigan Workforce Development Committee and the American Gaming Association’s Responsible Gaming Committee.
Tecumseh also currently serves as board president for Prairie Band Potawatomi Entertainment Corporation, which manages all of the tribe’s gaming operations.
