National Native American Hall of Fame adds E. Sequoyah Simermeyer to Board of Directors

Simermeyer is currently the VP of Strategic Partnerships at FanDuel where he builds sustainable commercial relationships across the US.

The National Native American Hall of Fame has announced the appointment of E. Sequoyah Simermeyer to its Board of Directors. 

Simermeyer will work to bring greater awareness to the contributions of contemporary Native people by supporting the National Native American Hall of Fame and its efforts to recognize and promote Tribal leaders and role models.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to support a national organization with an important purpose, honoring Native American achievement in our modern society,” said Simermeyer. 

“As a Native person and a parent, it is important that we acknowledge the success of Native people and allow those successes to be inspirational stories that instill pride and confidence in future generations who will lift the quality of life for Native people across the nation.”

Simermeyer is the former Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) and currently serves as the VP of Strategic Partnerships at FanDuel. In his current role, he helps lead FanDuel’s efforts to build sustainable commercial relationships across the US with a focus on promoting economic development that supports Tribal sovereignty.

“In the sports world, I would say that we have added a first-round draft pick to our already loaded Board of Directors,” National Native American Hall of Fame Founder and CEO Parker Shield said.

Simermeyer has also advised members of the US Senate, advocating for Indigenous Peoples’ rights and facilitating a national collaboration project aimed at improving the effectiveness of partnerships between state legislators and elected Tribal leaders.

For the NIGC, he led the federal regulatory perspective on Tribal gaming at the national level during significant federal agency regulatory reform as well as throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
