EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Rebecca May Walker

Rebecca is an enrolled Winnebago Tribal member and will have been with the company for 1 year in November. She is an Assistant Manager at the SweetWater Cafe in Winnebago.

1️⃣ What does your work as an Assistant Manager entail?

My work includes administration duties and the day-to-day supervision of store activities. My favorite parts of the job are getting to come up with fun new drink recipes and baking desserts! 🍪

2️⃣ Why do you feel working for a Native-owned company is important?

I take pride knowing that Ho-Chunk, Inc. is invested in creating opportunities for the Winnebago community.

3️⃣ How has Ho-Chunk, Inc. helped you grow?

Ho-Chunk, Inc. has given me the opportunity to exercise my leadership skills and learn from other professionals on my team.

4️⃣ What do you like to do outside of work?

I am a very busy mom and wife!

I recently started playing co-ed softball again and got a team together for women’s basketball league in the fall. I love to bead and attend pow-wows. I have a houseful of seven boys, so every Sunday is peewee football. 🏈

I was also on the policy council for Educare Winnebago, and I work part-time at the IronHorse Casino Bar and Grill in Emerson.
