HIGHLAND, CA – For the third year in a row, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians’ tribal government operations and Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel have received Great Place To Work Certification.

“San Manuel is a unique employer that brings together tribal government operations, hospitality, gaming and entertainment into a single enterprise that helps ensure the tribe’s livelihood today and for generations to come,” said Laurens Vosloo, Chief Executive Officer, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. “It’s an honor to work for an enterprise where more than 80 percent of our team applauds the tribe for fostering a welcoming, safe, and respectful culture.
