Brian Krolicki has been named president of the International Association of Gaming Regulators, with David Phillips as vice-president, the association announced Wednesday. Krolicki sits on the Nevada Gaming Commission, while Phillips is the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission’s chief operating officer.
Ben Haden of the Great Britain Gambling Commission is ending a three-year presidency and will remain on IAGR’s board as Krolicki takes over. Krolicki thanked Haden for his leadership and dedication over the past three years.
Krolicki was previously IAGR's vice-president. Before joining the Nevada commission, he served two terms each as the state's lieutenant governor and treasurer. Phillips helped develop Ontario's competitive online gambling market and co-chairs IAGR's Illegal Gambling Working Group.
IAGR said its initiatives included an inaugural awareness week on illegal gambling, a consumer licensing information tool, a model rules committee and a technology working group. It also increased its educational cooperation and outreach to policymakers. At IAGR’s annual conference in Lima, Peru, in October, attendees included more than 150 regulators and more than 100 experts and stakeholders.
