Candidate running for Principal Chief  

By Roy St. John, Candidate for Principal Chief

The Aug. 2009 issue of the Osage News announced my candidacy. The “Basic Four” of leadership are goal setting, communication, trust and accountability.

As your Principle Chief these principles will guide my decision-making. My Motto: Putting People First Steps I will support to make it happen.

1) Open Door Policy – Communication is necessary at all levels. I want to hear from everyone and have set the goal of answering all correspondence.

2) Employee Motivation – Encourage all employees to take ownership of their position responsibilities. Implement a reward program for outstanding service to citizens.

3) Annual Report – Publish a State of the Nation report with a full accounting.

4) Expense Justification – "How many Osage people are served?" needs to be the 1ST priority.

5) Per Capita Distribution – This is the most economical and fairest method to help all Osage Citizens. Each individual is the best judge of their changing needs.

6) Extend the Education program – I support bringing more young people under the umbrella of this program.

Address: 1093 Elgin Rd., Pawhuska, OK 74056 or E-mail at rstjohn1@totelcsi.net. Government exists to serve the people it represents.
