|
The American Gaming Association, the commercial casino industry’s top lobbying group, announced that it has re-elected five to its expansive board of directors, as well as brought on a new director in Richard Byrne, CEO of Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.
According to an AGA press release:
“Byrne previously served as director-elect and was elected for a one-year term as an at-large director, succeeding Adam Rosenberg, managing director and global head of the gaming group for Goldman Sachs & Co., who completed his term as an at-large director.”
Byrne holds a bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Binghamton and an M.B.A. from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.
“The return of so many directors is a sign of stability that reflects well on not just our organization, but the industry as a whole,” Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the AGA, said. “From gaming expansion and Internet gambling to Internet sweepstakes cafes and regulatory reform, there are myriad issues facing the commercial casino industry at the moment, and the vision and guidance of the AGA board will help the industry meet them head on.”
Fahrenkopf plans on stepping down from his position at the AGA later this year.
