SAULT STE. MARIE – Sault Tribe Chairman Darwin “Joe” McCoy on Tuesday night announced his immediate resignation as the elected leader of the 39,000-member Tribe.

Under the Tribe’s Constitution:
1. Board Vice Chairperson Lana Causley will serve as interim Chairperson until a successor is appointed or elected.
2. The Sault Tribe Board will decide as soon as possible whether to either appoint a successor, as specified in the Tribal constitution, or call an advisory special election to fill the seat under Tribal law.
All Board members pledged a smooth transition to the new chairperson.
