During her tenure in the Enrollment Committee, Catalina and the Members of the Committee completely revamped the tribe’s enrollment cards and implemented the Tribal Identification Enrollment Card that is used today. Just six quick months later, in 2007, Catalina became the Chairperson of the Enrollment Committee. In 2006, Catalina was elected by the Pechanga General Membership to serve on the Pechanga Enrollment Committee. Catalina did just that when she decided to leave the corporate world and eagerly leaped into her tribal career.
Councilwoman Catalina Chacon was elected to the Pechanga Tribal Council in July of 2012 and is currently serving her fifth term.Ī natural-born leader, it has been a personal, lifelong goal of Catalina’s to take her aptitude for continuous improvement through hard work and give back to her tribe.
