Mashantucket ― Rodney Butler, chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, has been elected president of the board of directors of NAFOA, the Native American Finance Officers Association.

His service to the Mashantuckets, owners of Foxwoods Resort Casino, dates to 2004, when he was first elected to the tribal council.
