For 18 years, Selma served as the Executive Director of the Center. Walker's dedication and service prepared the way for a new generation of leadership. In 1993, the Center's Board of Trustees elected her daughter, Carol Welsh, as Executive Director of the Center. The Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio is a non-profit, tax-exempt, intertribal corporation.

The Center has two major pow wows each year in addition to mini pow wows, lectures, dance demonstrations, storytelling and other cultural events throughout the year.
