The Indian Gaming Association (IGA) has officially named Janie Dillard, Chief Executive Officer of Choctaw Global, as a recipient of the prestigious 2026 Matriarchs of Indian Gaming award.

The award carries a special legacy, having been established by the late IGA Chairman Ernie Stevens Jr., who dedicated much of his career to honoring the strength and resilience of women leaders in Indian Country.
