Tell us a bit about what you appreciate about them as an RCB:
I have watched her grow from a small business owner to leading an artist collaborative to share business space within a shared space venue. Tori works very hard to always include the Burns Paiute Tribe in many, many conversations and is always inclusive of the Tribe which has not always happened in the past.
