The Pueblo of Santa Ana, N.M. – May 14, 2018

Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel, New Mexico's Best Bet, was honored by Albuquerque Journal in its 2018 ranking of "Top New Mexico Workplaces." Ranked as the No. 3 "Top Workplace" in the state for 2018, the company received the distinction in recognition of its achievements in creating a positive work environment and vibrant company culture. This is the sixth consecutive year Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel has been ranked in the Top 5 large companies in "Top Workplaces."

"This is a special honor because it goes to the core of our identity; it defines who we are as an organization," said Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel General Manager John Cirrincione. "We have always been focused on 'doing the right thing' for our team members, customers and shareholders. Our ultimate goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of everyone we touch. We are what a values-centered organization looks and feels like."

Additionally, Cirrincione was honored with a special "Top Workplaces" award for "Leadership." This award recognizes the innovative direction he provides to The Star's team and his passionate approach to leadership. This is the fourth time Cirrincione has won this award.

"Our philosophy of 'everyone counts' is put into action each day," continued Cirrincione. "We believe the deepest need in our human existence is our need to be loved and accepted. This is perfectly aligned with our Pueblo's cultural traditions—if you are a part of Santa Ana, you will always have a family."
