ADA, Okla. – The Chickasaw Foundation welcomes its new president, Justin L. Williams, who joined the organization Sept. 3.
Williams, a native of Sulphur, Oklahoma, has served the Chickasaw Nation in various capacities for nearly 20 years, including opening the Lazer Zone Family Fun Center in 2004 and SaltCreek Casino in 2012, where he served as assistant general manager. In his most recent role, he served as area general manager of Sulphur and Tishomingo properties since 2017.
“We are thrilled to have Justin leading the Chickasaw Foundation,” Jenny Trett, chairperson of the Chickasaw Foundation board of trustees, said. “Justin brings extensive leadership experience and a passion for serving. I know his energy and vision will grow and expand the impact of the Chickasaw Foundation.”
Williams is married to his wife, Jenny, a second grade teacher. Together they have three children, Emrie, 16, Landry, 11, and Luke, 4. Away from the office, he enjoys spending time with his family on their farm, playing golf and guitar.
“I am thrilled to begin working with this great team already in place,” Williams said, “and I know that together we can achieve great things for the Chickasaw people through the Foundation’s work.”
