Jamie Fullmer
Chairman
Blue Stone Strategy Group


Jamie Fullmer is dedicated to a powerful belief - that clear vision guides the leadership and development that is essential to fueling strong Native communities now and into the future. Fullmer founded Blue Stone Strategy Group to provide business and strategy consulting to Tribal leadership, Tribal enterprises, and corporate entities working with Tribes. The company's focus is on sound analysis and strategic planning for economic growth in Indian Country. During Jamie's five years as Chairman of the Yavapai-Apache Nation, he initiated a strategic plan and supporting action steps for sustainability through economic development and diversification, education, fiscal planning, and community development. This resulted in lowering the tribe's expenses while increasing productivity and maintaining member's services. He also implemented a long-term investment plan to ensure the financial stability of the tribe for generations to come. Jamie's life hasn't always been in public service, but it has been dedicated to helping others. After he earned his Masters of Social Work degree from The University of Utah, he spent 6 years in the mental health industry providing treatment services and crisis intervention. In 2000, he returned to his home land to become the Yavapai-Apache Nation's Director of Health and Human Services prior to being elected as the Chairman and was instrumental in starting the tribe's own health center providing medical care services.
