Hall also is an example of Yaamava’s internal growth strategy, having joined the casino resort in 2017 as Chief Operating Officer-Hospitality. “We strive to provide our team members with a foundation that fosters growth and development,” said Yaamava’ Resort and Casino General Manager Kenji Hall via email. Duran’s career path stems from a Tribal initiative that encourages internal growth and leadership. She’s among the 18% of San Manuel workers who have been employed by the Tribal organization for more than ten years.
Now, 25 years later, Duran has progressed from chip runner to serving as a casino manager on duty.
