MILWAUKEE — Dominic Ortiz, CEO and general manager of Potawatomi Hotel and Casino, will be the special guest for the next installment of the Marquette University Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education’s “Get to Know” program series on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 12:15 p.m. at Eckstein Hall, 1215 W. Michigan St.
Derek Mosley, director of the Lubar Center, hosts the “Get to Know” series, which is styled as “more late-night talk show than ‘Meet the Press.’” Registration is available online for this free public event. Media wishing to attend should contact Kevin Conway at kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
Ortiz was named CEO and general manager at Potawatomi in 2021. He is an enrolled member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation of Kansas, and he worked in casinos in Kansas, Texas, and Michigan before coming to Milwaukee. Since 2021, he has led the area casino through reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic, building improvements, additional restaurant offerings, sports betting, and a new outdoor concert venue. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, this conversation will center around his priorities for the Potawatomi Casino, his impressions of Milwaukee, and what he looks forward to for Milwaukee and the region.
Through public programming such as the Marquette Law School Poll, “On the Issues” conversations with newsmakers, public lectures by leading scholars, conferences on issues of public significance, and the work of its Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education, Marquette Law School seeks to advance civil discourse about law and public policy matters.
Kevin is the associate director for university communication in the Office of University Relations. Contact Kevin at (414) 288-4745 or kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
