Nevada Gaming Commission member Brian Krolicki named IAGR president

Brian Krolicki, a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission and former Nevada lieutenant governor and state treasurer, has been named president of the International Association of Gaming Regulators, the body announced Wednesday.

Krolicki succeeds Ben Haden of the Great Britain Gambling Commission, who completes a three-year tenure as president and remains on the IAGR board. David Phillips, chief operating officer of the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission, takes the vice presidency. Phillips co-chairs IAGR's Illegal Gambling Working Group and led development of Ontario's competitive iGaming market.

The leadership change follows an active period for IAGR that included its first Illegal Gambling Awareness Week, the launch of the CheckBeforeYouPlay.org licensing information tool, and an annual conference in Lima attended by more than 150 regulators from across every region.

Krolicki previously served as IAGR vice president. His background spans public finance, regulatory oversight, and two terms each as Nevada's lieutenant governor and state treasurer.
