Hello, my name is Alice Marguerite Goodfox. I am excited to announce to my fellow Osage people that I am running for Osage Congress. I have an Associates from St. Gregory’s College; a Bachelor of Science in Family Studies from the University of Maryland, and a Masters in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma.
I am currently employed as the HR Supervisor with the Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino. Prior to this, I worked as a government contractor for over six years in multicultural marketing and communications for federal agencies such as the Department of Health & Human Services. I am a certified focus group moderator and have worked with dozens of tribes across the country on issues involving alcohol and substance abuse prevention/treatment, mental health, and education.
I reside in Hominy, OK with my husband, Joe and our son Joseph. I am proud of everything that I have accomplished but I am most proud of being Osage. I will work towards bringing greater opportunities for our tribe and I am committed to serving all Osage people. I ask for your vote and support.
