GLI
is proud to announce a couple of honors that happened
during G2E. First, GLI’s Vice President of Global Mar-
keting and member of the company’s executive leadership team,
Christie Eickelman was honored with the Patty Becker Pay It For-
ward award. The award is presented annually at the Global Gaming
Women’s (GGW) fundraiser and networking event, Kick Up Your
Heels. A visual representation of courage, integrity and leadership, the
award bracelet signifies women who have helped other women be suc-
cessful. Eickelman has been co-chair of the GGW events committee,
planning GGW outreach programs, breakfasts and lunches at numer-
ous events. Her efforts have increased GGW’s visibility and increased
initial contact with GGW for many women in the workplace. Eickel-
man said, “Being presented with an award like this is a huge honor
because it not only outwardly recognizes the hard work each recipient
has performed to help other women in gaming, but also gives women
something to strive for in their own careers. I enjoy mentoring others
and will continue to do so.”
Second, while at G2E, GLI’s Vice President of Government Re-
lations and General Counsel Kevin P. Mullally, who is also on the
executive leadership team, was appointed by the National Council on
Problem Gambling (NCPG) to Chair its Standards, Policy and Regu-
lations Committee for the 2016-2017 term. As the author of the first
self-exclusion program in the U.S. in 1996, Mullally has a long history
of involvement in assisting with the development of responsible gam-
ing policies. Mullally said, “I am honored to be able to continue my
long affiliation with the National Council on Problem Gambling and
look forward to working with my exceptionally talented committee
members to analyze the many important policy issues relating to the
implementation of quality responsible gaming education, prevention
and treatment programs.”
NCPG Executive Director Keith S. Whyte said, “Kevin brings a
wealth of experience to this important committee, and it has been my
pleasure to work with him for many years. He remains at the forefront
of global gaming policy and developments in responsible gaming, and
I’m grateful for his leadership on this important committee.”
GLI’s President and CEO James R. Maida said, “I am very proud of
Christie and Kevin’s accomplishments. These announcements came at
a great time—just as another successful year of G2E concluded. Our
team of professionals works very hard to provide our customers with
the best solutions for their needs, and awards and appointments like
Christie and Kevin’s are just a testament to how hard our employees
work to better themselves so that we, in turn, can offer higher knowl-
edge transfers to our clients. We are looking forward to G2E 2017.”
Apart from ICE 2017 in February, where GLI will be present in
stand N3-210, GLI’s professionals are preparing for the North Ameri-
can Regulators Roundtable, which will take place at Luxor Las Vegas
March 15 and 16.
