meet the samcor inc. board of directors

the Samcor Inc. Board of Directors is appointed by the Samish Tribal Council and entrusted with advancing the Nation’s economic future. Serving staggered three-year terms, the five-member board—including Samcor’s CEO as Board President—oversees operations with integrity, strategy, and a deep commitment to serving the Samish Indian Nation and its citizens. While up to two Tribal Council members may serve on the board, the role of President remains independent of the Council to ensure balanced governance.
