Update from Ben Haden, IAGR President

I wish to share an update on the IAGR Board of Trustees.

Sarah Kelly has stepped down from her role as IAGR Vice President following her departure from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. On behalf of the IAGR Board and members worldwide, we extend our sincere thanks to Sarah for her contribution to the organisation over the past several years.

Sarah brought thoughtful leadership and a strong regulatory perspective to the Board, and her work on the Regulatory Awards programme has been especially valued. We thank her for her time, dedication and friendship.

I’m pleased to announce that IAGR Board member Brian Krolicki has been appointed Vice President. Brian has served actively on the IAGR Board for 18 months and brings decades of public sector, financial and regulatory leadership to the role.

Brian is a Vice Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission, appointed by Governor Joe Lombardo in 2023. He previously served two terms as both Lieutenant Governor and State Treasurer, where he led major economic development initiatives and was recognised as the Nation’s Most Outstanding State Treasurer.

A graduate of Stanford University, Brian continues to serve on boards across the United States, Europe and Asia.

Please join me in welcoming Brian to the Vice President role, and in thanking Sarah for her outstanding service to IAGR.
