A top executive with the American Gaming Association has announced her departure from the organization.
Judy Patterson, the senior vice president and executive director of the AGA, says she will remain as a consultant in the coming year for the organization she helped to found.
“She has been a key player in the creation and growth of Global Gaming Expo and G2E Asia, the two premier gaming industry events in the world,” AGA President Geoff Freeman said last week. “She also created and spearheaded industry task forces to study and address issues as diverse as regulatory reform, taxes, bank secrecy act provisions, communications and responsible gaming.”
Patterson, along with former organization President Frank Fahrenkopf Jr., founded the AGA 18 years ago.
“The gaming industry and its members owe a great deal of gratitude to Judy and Frank,” MGM Resorts International Chairman Jim Murren said, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. “They are responsible for building and the growth of a fine organization, and it’s a logical transition.”
