Get to Know: Dominic Ortiz

Please join us on November 7 as we continue our “Get to Know” series at Marquette Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education. Derek Mosley, director of the Lubar Center, will welcome Dominic Ortiz, CEO and General Manager of Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.  

Dominic Ortiz was named CEO and general manager in 2021. He is an enrolled member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation of Kansas, and has worked in casinos in Kansas, Texas, and Michigan before coming to Milwaukee. Since 2021, Dominic 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. As we honor Native American Heritage Month, come learn about his priorities for the Potawatomi Casino, his impressions of Milwaukee, and what he looks forward to for Milwaukee and the region.   

Director Mosley envisions the “Get to Know” series as “more late-night talk show than Meet the Press.” The program will begin promptly at 12:15 p.m., including lunch, conversation, and community in Eckstein Hall. Please register here to attend.
