SAVANNAH, GA: The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) is proud to announce that Gretchen Corbin, President and CEO of the Georgia Lottery Corporation, will serve as the Keynote Luncheon Speaker at the NCLGS Winter Meeting, taking place December 9-12, 2026, at the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District.

Corbin, one of the nation’s most respected leaders in the lottery community, will deliver the keynote address on Thursday, December 10, bringing her extensive experience in public service to the national stage.

As President and CEO of the Georgia Lottery Corporation since 2018, Corbin has overseen record-breaking returns for education, including $1.54 billion in fiscal year 2026 for Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship and Pre-K programs. The Georgia Lottery has now contributed more than $31.3 billion to education since its inception, supporting millions of students and families across the state.

Her career includes senior leadership roles at the Technical College System of Georgia, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, and the Georgia Department of Economic Development, where her work helped bring nearly 69,000 jobs and more than $13 billion in capital investment to Georgia. Corbin currently serves as Chair of the World Lottery Association Responsible Gaming Committee and has held top leadership roles with the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) and the Mega Millions Consortium.

“Gretchen Corbin’s leadership in education, workforce development, and responsible gaming has earned national recognition,” said Georgia Rep. Al Williams the President of NCLGS. “She is one of the top lottery CEOs in the country, if not the very best, and she is known for her straightforward, candid approach. Her leadership reflects the core mission of NCLGS: promoting responsible gaming practices, strengthening communities, and advancing economic opportunity. We are honored to welcome her as our keynote speaker.”

The NCLGS Winter Meeting is the only national conference where sitting legislators convene to discuss gaming policy. The 2026 Winter Meeting program will feature legislator-led sessions, regulatory and industry panels, responsible gaming discussions, and networking events with policymakers and industry leaders from across the country.

Early‑bird registration for the Winter Meeting is available through October 16. Attendees are encouraged to register early to secure discounted rates and reserve their place.

Room reservations must be made prior to November 7 to secure the NCLGS group rate.

Sponsorship opportunities are also offered for organizations wishing to engage directly with policymakers and industry leaders. Sponsoring this event positions your organization at the center of gaming policy dialogue, with meaningful, lasting visibility among the decision-makers who matter most.

NCLGS semi-annual meetings are the only national forums in which sitting state legislators regularly convene to examine gaming policy in a nonpartisan, educational setting.
