The Poker Tournament Directors Association (TDA) announced today that it has added Jack Effel, Neil Johnson and Tab Duchateau to their board of directors.

The TDA is a poker industry group whose mission is to standardize global poker tournament rules while simultaneously working to improve the game. The group will be hosting their sixth poker summit this summer at the Venetian in Las Vegas on June 26 and 27.

Effel is the Vice President of International Poker Operations for Caesars Interactive Entertainment and the Tournament Director for the World Series of Poker. Duchateau is the Tournament Director for WPT and other events at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City. Johnson is the Head of Live Poker Operations for PokerStars Europe.

“The TDA has grown from 24 tournament directors at our first Summit in 2001 to more than 2000 members in 41 countries today,” said founding TDA member Matt Savage. “Over this time, the entire membership has come to greatly respect Jack Effel, Neil Johnson, and Tab Duchateau for their wisdom and hard work in support of the TDA mission. They literally bring a world of experience to the Board and will help lead the Association for years to come.”
