PRESS RELEASE
The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, owners of Four WindsŪ Casinos, announced
today that Matt Harkness has been named Chief Operating Officer of its three
Four Winds Casino properties. Harkness will also continue as General Manager of
Four Winds New Buffalo. Frank Freedman has also been named General Manager of
Four Winds Hartford and Four Winds Dowagiac. Freedman will continue as Assistant
General Manager of Four Winds New Buffalo. Both Mr. Harkness and Mr. Freedman
started their employment with Four Winds Casinos before the opening of the New
Buffalo location in 2007.
"It has been a great pleasure working closely with both Matt and Frank
throughout the years," said Matt Wesaw. "Their work ethic, attention to detail,
and dedication to customer service has set the tone for the entire staff at Four
Winds Casinos, which is a big reason why we have had the success we've had."
"It is both professionally and personally rewarding to be associated with the
Pokagon Band and Four Winds Casinos," said Matt Harkness. "This has been an
incredible six years. It has been a tremendous experience as I was here during
the construction of Four Winds New Buffalo in 2007, the opening of the first
satellite casino in Hartford two years ago, the expansion in New Buffalo last
year and now the recent opening of Four Winds Dowagiac. I look forward to
continuing to work with the Pokagon Band and their leadership, and would like to
thank them for the opportunities they have provided."
Frank Freedman added, "It has been an exciting experience participating in the
development of the Four Winds brand and the daily operation of such wonderful
facilities, culminating with the recent opening of the Dowagiac property. I am
thrilled to be part of a great management team and to work with a supportive
ownership group."
