Mike Lopez, a member of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Business Committee, has been appointed to the California Nations Indian Gaming Association executive board.
Lopez, 49, was unanimously elected by the Central District tribes to serve a two-year term as the district’s at-large member of the CNIGA Executive Committee, a tribal spokeswoman said.
The position became vacant in December when James Siva from the Morongo Band of Mission Indians was elected vice chairman of the committee.
