Southwest Casino Corporation Executives Recognized for Contributions to Native American Gaming in Oklahoma |
|
Southwest Casino Corporation (OTCBB: SWCC) announced today that James B. Druck, the company's CEO, and Thomas E. Fox, the company's President and COO, have both received the 2008 Career Achievement Awards from the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) for their career efforts and dedication to the success of Indian Gaming in Oklahoma. |
In presenting these awards, David J. Qualls, Chairman of the OIGA, recognized Mr. Druck and Mr. Fox as the initial driving force behind the prosperity Native American gaming in Oklahoma now enjoys.
In his statement, Chairman Qualls expressed the OIGA's gratitude for Mr. Druck and Mr. Fox's vision for modernization of the Oklahoma Indian gaming market, noting that due to that vision and their keen sense of fiscal responsibility, casinos Southwest developed and managed earn millions of dollars in profits and provide economic benefits not just to the Tribes, but to the State of Oklahoma and its citizens as well.
Chairman Qualls specifically cited Mr. Druck and Mr. Fox for their diligent efforts to seek out and develop individuals who have excelled as employees and managers of Native American casinos, noting that individuals hired and trained by them now directly manage thousands of casino employees in Oklahoma.
'I was proud to accept these awards on behalf of Jim and Southwest and appreciate the recognition of our many years of hard work in Oklahoma,' said Tom Fox, Southwest's President and COO. 'We take great pride in the casinos we helped build and the many tribal members we helped train and employ over the years and appreciate being recognized as part of the development of Indian gaming in Oklahoma.'
'It is gratifying to receive recognition for our work,' added Jim Druck, Southwest's CEO, 'and that work has been especially rewarding because of the many great working relationships and friendships we have developed in tribal communities through our work in Oklahoma Indian gaming.'
