Lumbee Tribe Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors announces certification and new president and CEO

By Staff Report, posted 3 years ago

Earlier this month, Lumbee Tribe Holdings, Inc. announced the finalization of their 8(a) certification for Lumbee IT Solutions, LLC from the

Small Business Administration. The new certification will allow for the company to access different business opportunities with some possibly being on the federal level.

 

“This is a historical day for the Lumbee people. We have our first company wholly owned by the Lumbee to get its 8(a) status,” Tribal Chairman Harvey Godwin, Jr., who serves as the Chairman of LTH Board, said. “Under this administration, the Lumbee Tribe realized

its first profits, profits that provided money for programs for Tribal members. Through its 8(a) status LITS will provide economic development and job creation for Lumbee Tribal Members.”

 

On the same day of the announcement, LTH also announced unanimous appointment of Joshua Malcom as the new president and CEO of Lumbee Tribe Holdings, Inc. Malcolm is a U.S. Air Force combat service veteran and has served as the LTH interim CEO since May 2020.

 

“This is an unbelievable chance for me to work with those throughout the LTH enterprise to bring economic benefits to our tribal members, especially our youth,” said Malcolm.
