The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers is set to restructure its operations, part of which will be the designation of a president and chief executive officer, as well as an elected board of directors.
This, the association said, would “better serve the interests of AGEM and its members within the global gaming supplier sector.”
Daron Dorsey will become the new president and CEO, and in that role, he will continue to lead AGEM, and be responsible for day-to-day management of AGEM operations, affairs, initiatives and professionals.
Bob Parente will now complete his current term of service as chair of the AGEM board of directors and work with the board of directors to continue governance oversight of AGEM plans and priorities.
Parente, who also serves as executive vice president and chief business development officer for Light & Wonder, said: “We believe this structure will serve AGEM members and the supplier sector well.
“Daron was brought in to help build upon the AGEM foundation and pursue new initiatives to advocate for our supplier industry interests in various forums. His prior background and executive experience will be important as we embark on this natural progression for AGEM as the trade association for the global gaming supplier community.”
In addition, Parente noted that AGEM is developing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to expand its board composition to maximise the best gaming industry talent.
