A Board of Directors consisting of five members oversees Ho-Chunk, Inc. Membership includes two current members of the Winnebago Tribal Council and three at-large members.
The Board of Directors acts independently of the Tribal Council to oversee the long-term goals and strategies of the corporation. The Tribal Council understands that they need to protect HCI’s autonomy to ensure its success. The Council defers to the CEO and Board, allowing them to make decisions based upon economic prudence – not on the basis of minimizing political risk. This separation of business from politics frees the Tribal Council to focus on governance and enables HCI management to focus on maximizing profitability for the corporation. |
