Madeline Greymountain

What motivates me today to put energy, dedication and vision into something greater than myself is the belief that ‘It is Possible’. What has contributed to my knowledge base is education earning dual AAS degrees in business majors (Honorary Deans List); worked with poverty level clientele for a nonprofit American Indian organization for a decade; humbly served my Goshute people from 2009-2015 as the Vice-Chair and Chairwoman of our Goshute Tribe which opened my eyes to the necessary need for economic development to promote the wellbeing and future of our tribe. During this same time, I also took on the work of Tribal Administrator to keep our tribe moving forward and meeting tribal obligations. I have been with my full time position employed by the University of Utah in Supply Chain since 2004 and continue expanding my skill set in the medical clerical field. Stepping away from Tribal Council, I felt moved to put some effort into our Section 17 Corporation and exercise our right to do business through this economic development arm of our tribe. We now have a full board that is committed, competent and ready to serve. My roots are deep and invested with the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute. I was born at home along the foothills of Deep Creek and delivered into this world by my great grandmother. To be able to have memories of our old ones and their teachings and way of life has been an inspiration to me and keeps me humble. My people and our way of life continues to motivate me to do all I can to secure viable business ventures as it will bring healing, enhance growth and improve our people’s everyday life and livelihood.

I am an enrolled member of CTGR, who graduated from Salt Lake Community College with an Associate's Degree. I have worked a decent variety of jobs, from office work to labor jobs. Most recent employment dealt with time-loss worker's compensation claims. I am not new to legal terminology, nor dealing in governmental policies. I also studied political science at the University of Utah with some background on international politics. I am also willing to continue learning and developing my abilities. 

I am also currently one of the Operations Managers at Sacred Circle Healthcare, which I am learning that role to ensure our clinic operations continue to run and help that business in growing.
