Mr. Chuck Keelin was appointed VP, Stakeholder Relations and Responsible Gaming in 2013, however, in 2019 his title was changed again to Executive Vice President, Stakeholder Relations and Responsible Gaming.
Carrie Kormos, Chair of the Board said: “That the CGA Board added four new members is a testament to the Association’s exponential growth in 2021. We welcomed 18 new members and diversified by adding sports betting and eSports operators, payment companies, and many non-gaming suppliers. This will provide the CGA with an opportunity to act as a convenor for the industry as a whole and build collaboration during this exciting period in Canadian gaming.”
