Tribal
Council Selects Steve Salveson, Chief Financial
Officer of Tribal Finance
The Tribal Business Council formally selected
Mr. Steve Salveson as the Chief Financial Officer
with the full authority to supervise the staff
of the Finance Department. As it was noted that
when he was first hired on he wanted to concentrate
on getting the accounting aspect caught up to
date prior to taking over the supervision and
full responsibility. However he is now prepared
to do so and has accepted the role of Chief Financial
Officer.
Mr. Salveson is a Certified Public Accountant
with over 17 years of experience as a CPA
and received his Bachelors Degree in Accounting
from Montana State University. Mr. Salveson left
a firm in Minot, ND to give the Three Affiliated
Tribes a hand at running our own accounting system
for our General Funds, Federal Funds and JTAC
Funds. Mr. Salveson, had been preparing such a
JTAC report since June 2001 to be presented to
Office Trust Funds Management.
Which, of course was recently delivered to Senator
Kent Conrad on August 30, 2001.
