Jay Monahan to leave next year as PGA Tour commissioner
Advertisement Monahan announced last December the search for a CEO. Still unclear was the Belmont native's role until the announcement of Rolapp. Monahan will shift his day-to-day responsibilities to Rolapp and focus more on his position on the PGA Tour board, along with the commercial PGA Tour Enterprises board, through 2026. Rolapp was introduced two days after the U.S. Open, one of four times a year all the best players are together. Monahan, who guided all of golf through the COVID-19 pandemic, was criticized for not taking a meeting with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia when it wanted to invest in golf with a team component. LIV Golf began in June 2022 and lured away over the next two years Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson. Advertisement Monahan and two board members, Jimmy Dunne and Ed Herlihy, then secretly met with PIF leadership and The framework agreement was never finalized. The PGA Tour and PIF are still negotiating on an investment deal, and not even President Donald Trump could smooth the way after a meeting in February. 'Brian is the perfect choice for the next chapter of the PGA Tour,' Monahan added. 'His arrival strengthens our leadership team and reflects our shared commitment to the TOUR's continued evolution. With Brian's expertise and vision, and the trust we've established with our players and fans, I'm more confident than ever in the future we're building.'

Golf-Former NFL executive Rolapp appointed PGA Tour CEO
June 17 - The PGA Tour announced Brian Rolapp as its new CEO on Tuesday with the former NFL executive set to take on the role later this year as Commissioner Jay Monahan transitions his day-to-day responsibilities. A committee consisting of officials such as Monahan, as well as golfers Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, unanimously recommended Rolapp for the role. "A year ago, I informed our Boards that upon completing a decade as Commissioner, I would step down from my role at the end of 2026," Monahan said in a statement. "Since then, we've worked together to identify a leader who can build on our momentum and develop a process that ensures a smooth transition. We've found exactly the right leader in Brian Rolapp." He will serve as CEO of the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Enterprises, the golf circuit's for-profit entity. Rolapp, who joined the NFL in 2003, became the COO of NFL Media and then CEO of NFL Network. He was also the NFL's Chief Media and Business Officer, overseeing the league's commercial businesses, including broadcast and digital rights, and launched its digital platform NFL . "I come from the National Football League, so I'll be the first to admit - I've got a lot to learn about golf. But I love the game, I play the game, and I am a PGA Tour fan myself," Rolapp said in an open letter. "To that end, I cannot wait to meet every one of our players, get in front of as many fans as possible, and better understand the needs of our partners." In February, the PGA Tour said it was closer to reaching a deal with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf, launched in 2022, which would help end the years-long divide in professional golf.

Beyond their demanding roles, they have committed themselves to mentoring aspiring nurses, sharing their skills and enthusiasm to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals. Founding pillars According to Julius Jude P. Mamaclay, the president of Philippine Nurses Association of Bahrain (PNAB), Gilbert and Rachelle are one of the founding pillars of PNAB. Their contributions to the organization was so immense especially with the Special Professional Licensure Board Examinations (SPLBE) for nurses which started in 2016. Approximately 100 Registered Nurses passed the SPLBE because of their assistance in the Nursing review. Their role as mentors indeed instrumental in enabling these individuals to reach their licensure objectives. The SPLBE primary objective is to benefit qualified Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) by providing them with accessible opportunities to obtain or renew their professional licenses. Joyce Magdalena G.

'Mr. Gilbert Salacup has played an instrumental role in our success story. He has made a significant impact on students' lives, motivating us to strive for excellence.'

Successfully passing the board examination demands significant strength and courage, marking a remarkable achievement for an OFW. Journey This journey has been particularly challenging, necessitating resilience, determination, hard work, and unwavering commitment. It is undoubtedly a substantial challenge. Furthermore, obtaining your license will indeed unlock numerous career advancement opportunities. Both Gilbert and Rachelle contributions have been pivotal in enhancing the learning experience for nursing students over the years.

Who is running to be CYFN Grand Chief?
The Council of Yukon First Nations Grand Chief is set to be elected at the CYFN annual general meeting in Teslin on June 25. There are five candidates in the running. This election is unique in that the person elected will be taking on the responsibilities of both the CYFN Grand Chief, and the Assembly of First Nations Yukon Regional Chief, due to a consolidation announced earlier this month. Grand Chief Peter Johnston has held the position since 2016, having been the only candidate to put his name forward and winning by acclamation in 2016, 2019, and 2022. He is not running for re-election. Grand chiefs are elected by representatives from the Youth Council, Elders' Council, and from each member and associate member of CYFN. Associate members include Gwich'in Tribal Council Ehditat Gwich'in Council, Tetlit Gwich'in Council, Taku River Tlingit First Nation, Nihtat Gwich'in Council and Gwichya Gwich'in Council. Candidates who in the running are: Math'ieya Alatini, Pauline Frost, Rose Sellars, Ed Schultz and Steve Smith. Alatini is currently the chief strategist at her own business, GSD Strategies. She is also the CEO and board chair of OneYukon Coalition, a non-profit focused on health and wellness. Alatini served as the chief of Kluane First Nation, elected first in 2010 at 38. She did not seek re-election after her second term: instead, she ran for the territorial Liberal Party in the 2016 election. She called herself a 'child of the agreements.' In a May 30 interview with the News, Alatini said her priorities as chief would include addressing the social effects associated with increased drug and alcohol use in the territory, including an increased crime rate . Economic diversification in the territory is also a key priority in the wake of the loss of Eagle Gold Mine, said Alatini. While increasing tourism is an opportunity, she said it is important to consider the threshold for that. Education, and continued support of the First Nations School Board and Education Directorate are important to her, Alatini said. She also wants to see more place-based learning for Yukon First Nations. 'Instead of them having to come to Whitehorse, try to find a house in this housing market, they could receive that education in their community, whether that's through the Community Campus or through online learning,' she said of learners. 'You don't want to disrupt your entire social fabric, your support network, to further your education,' Alatini said. Alatini also said Chapter 22 of the Umbrella Final Agreement, dealing with economic development, could be used to help address some of the capacity issues First Nations governments are currently struggling with. She said the chapter's goals are not fully realized yet. 'I think there is a role for a central body such as CYFN to really push those envelopes,' she said. Pauline Frost, who is currently the chief of Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, has also thrown her name in for the position of CYFN Grand Chief. She also served as health minister on former premier Sandy Silver's cabinet. She lost the riding of Vuntut Gwitchin to NDP Annie Blake in 2021, after a perfect tie let to Blake taking the seat by random draw . Frost was unavailable for an inteview prior to the News' deadline. Schultz is a member of Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation, where he also served as deputy chief from 2016 to 2019. He was the first First Nations councillor on Whitehorse city council, elected in 1991. He previously served as the Grand Chief for CYFN from 2000 to 2005, before stepping down to run for the leadership of the Yukon Liberal Party. He currently works as a liaison between Little Salmon Carmacks and the Casino mining corporation. Schultz said one of his priorities was addressing the drug-related deaths happening in the territory. 'I don't believe that the way we're approaching the issue is, is one that's getting the results that we're hoping, which is to reduce the number of deaths as a result of addictions,' he said. Schultz lost his own son to opioids. 'It's something that I think, that I know has affected so many families,' Schultz said. He said there needs to be a greater measure of deliberate strategy, for communities to raise awareness about the dangers associated with the use of opioids. Communities should have appropriate facilities for detoxing and aftercare, Schultz said. Schultz also said to tackle things like drug deaths in the territory, there needs to be a united approach among Yukon First Nations. 'I think there's been a serious deterioration of the traditional relationships that we had in the modern age, particularly after the treaties came into being, there seemed to be a more splintering of the First Nations,' Schultz said. Cohesion is also necessary, said Schultz, to address the world that CYFN finds itself in. There's been a focus on critical minerals and ' nation-building ' projects, with implications for the Yukon, he said. 'First Nations need to get more unified and have a more uniform and united approach to how we get engaged with our communities, with the proponents, with regulatory agencies, and discuss the mitigation measures necessary to ensure that these large-scale type projects can significantly reduce the negative effects that they always bring,' he said. Sellars is a member and former council member of Carcross/Tagish First Nation. She also ran for the Liberal Party nomination in Copperbelt South in 2016. She is currently the Indigenous partnership manager for the Yukon Environmental Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB). Sellars said if elected, she would consult the First Nations on their priorities. 'There are things that I feel are important that I would like to talk to them about, but nothing yet that I've determined are the priorities,' she told the News in an interview on June 3. Sellars said Yukon First Nations should come together collectively for their children's future, as well as issues that seem universal, such as housing, health and education and land. Sellars said she's looking ahead to the formation of the territory's health authority. It will be important to ensure communication is happening on this matter with and within CYFN, she said. She also mentioned the changes made to federal Jordan's Principle funding as being a concern. The changes introduced in February 2025 set limits around the type of funding requests that would be approved. She said Yukon First Nations are sometimes 'going it alone.' With issues like mining and education, which are collectively experienced by multiple different First Nations, it would be better to come together, Sellars said. Determining how to work together is another consideration, Sellars said, noting the merger of positions of AFN regional chief and CYFN grand chief. 'My vision for CYFN is —it's pretty simple— I think Council for Yukon First Nations should be a strong, united voice that makes a difference in our Yukon First Nation people's lives.' Smith served two terms as the chief of Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, from 2014 to 2022. He is currently the executive director of the Yukon First Nations Chamber of Commerce. Speaking with the News on May 27, he said there is one main challenge facing Yukon First Nations. 'That is to get the leadership all on the same page and in the same room. That's the major challenge that is going on. I think everything else is a doable situation,' he said. With the dissolution of the AFN regional chief position, and transfer of their responsibilities to the next CYFN grand chief, Smith said CYFN will have to consider its responsibilities to the First Nations in the territory who have not signed final agreements. Therefore, sorting out what a new CYFN will look like is key, said Smith. Beyond that, the upcoming territorial minerals legislation will be a focus, said Smith. The campaign was just beginning when Smith spoke with the News. 'It's really just about beginning to have some one-on-one time with the leaders to get an idea of where they want to go and if they see me fitting in or not,' said Smith. Error!
