The National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) extends its heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby as he prepares to retire after decades of extraordinary leadership and service.

Throughout his ten consecutive terms as Governor, Governor Anoatubby has demonstrated a remarkable combination of vison, dedication, and commitment to the well-being of Native people. His leadership and support of Chickasaw Elders, American Indian and Alaska Native Elders, and communities throughout Indian Country have left a lasting impact.
