NEW ORLEANS: The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) will present a case study on Louisiana’s model for Responsible Gaming, highlighting how key officials in the state’s mature gaming market develop and implement effective, safe-gaming programs. These topics will be explored during the Committee on Responsible Gaming panel, chaired by Representative Shelley Kloba of Washington, at the NCLGS Winter Meeting, taking place December 12-15 at Caesars New Orleans.

Presenters will include:


  • Suzanne Bourgeois, Program Manager, Problem Gambling Resource Services and Assistant Attorney General, Gaming Division in Louisiana
  • Ronnie Jones, Former Chair, Louisiana Gaming Control Board
  • Marisa Marino Beard, Director of Addiction Enhancements & Accountability, Louisiana Department of Health’s Office of Behavioral Health
  • Don Pledger, Executive Director, Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling


The four-day NCLGS Winter Meeting will begin with two IMGL Master Classes on Thursday afternoon, followed by 12 sessions over the next three days that will be chaired by legislative leaders from across the country. Attendees will also enjoy receptions on Thursday and Friday nights (sponsored by GLI and IGT respectively), as well as late-night parties on Thursday (sponsored by Light & Wonder) and Friday (sponsored by FanDuel). We’ll be announcing our off-site event options for Saturday afternoon soon.

 

These networking events will provide attendees with the opportunity to mingle with industry insiders, state legislators, and regulators on an informal basis.


NCLGS, founded more than a quarter-century ago, is the only organization of state lawmakers that meets on a regular basis to discuss issues related to gaming.
