Mohegan, formerly known as Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, has announced the promotion of Cody Chapman to Public Relations Director and named Charisse Huff Public Relations Manager.
Mohegan PR is led by VP of Corporate Communications, Jennifer Ballester, who has been with Mohegan since the opening of Mohegan Sun in 1996.
Cody Chapman, a member of the Mohegan Tribe, started as PR Specialist for Mohegan Sun in 2007. In 2012, he took on responsibilities as its Sports & Entertainment Publicist, and in 2015 was named PR Manager.
He has previously maintained media relations for the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena, which hosts more than 100 concerts and sporting events annually. As Director, Chapman will guide the PR team, strategize goals and work closely with corporate and Mohegan Sun leadership.
Huff joined Mohegan Sun in 2018, serving first as PR Specialist before moving on to Communications Manager in 2021, where she helped streamline Mohegan’s efforts across PR, social media, advertising and internet marketing.
Huff will now steer day-to-day PR, as well as lead efforts for major announcements, key events and milestones across Mohegan Sun, Mohegan Pennsylvania and Resorts Casino Hotel.
Chapman and Huff will also provide PR support for Mohegan’s iGaming division, Mohegan Digital.
Major events that Chapman and Huff supported in the last two years include: Mohegan Sun’s 25th Anniversary, the opening of TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge, the launch of the 11,000 square-foot Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook and the 19th annual Sun Wine & Food Fest, which saw record turn-out for its signature event, The Grand Tasting.
