Louis Rogacki Joins from New Jersey

The new trustees also include Kevin Mullally, who will represent the Asia/Oceania region, bringing perspectives from rapidly developing gaming markets in these areas. Meanwhile, Peter Kesitilwe Emolemo, from the Gambling Authority of Botswana, will provide crucial insights into the regulatory landscape in Africa. Finally, Anders Dorph from the Danish Gambling Authority will represent Europe, further bolstering the IAGR’s international reach.
Strengthening Global Regulatory Frameworks
IAGR President Ben Haden praised the diverse expertise of the new trustees, highlighting their potential to bring fresh perspectives to global gaming regulation.
“Their leadership and insights across different regions will be instrumental in enhancing our global approach to regulation,” said Haden in a statement. “I look forward to working with Peter, Louis, Kevin, and Anders as we continue to innovate and promote responsible regulation.”
Continuing Efforts Toward Innovation
This expansion is part of IAGR’s ongoing efforts to improve the global gaming community’s regulatory environment. By leveraging the knowledge and experience of these new trustees, the organization aims to stay at the forefront of gaming regulation and ensure responsible gambling practices are implemented worldwide.
Trustee Transitions and Continued Leadership
Along with the new appointments, the IAGR also announced that two trustees have completed their terms.
