The founding CEO of the American Gaming Association is retiring.

Frank Fahrenkopf

Frank Fahrenkopf will step down on June 30 after 18 years as head of the commercial casino industry’s lobbying organisation. “I have enjoyed my time at the helm of this incredible organisation and am proud to have represented an industry that provides tens of millions of men and women with the best entertainment value in the world,” he said.

A search firm has been hired to find a replacement. Fahrenkopf will remain with the AGA at least through to the end of this year to assist with the transition.
