Today, the Board of Directors of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) announced the departure of Keith Whyte from his position as Executive Director.
To replace him, Nancy Green has been appointed as Interim Executive Director. Green, a Fellow of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and a Certified Association Executive (CAE), brings extensive association, nonprofit leadership, and program experience to her roles in mission-driven environments, most recently as Interim Executive Director for the American Sustainable Business Network.
Susan Sheridan Tucker, President of the Board at the NCPG, declared: “On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Keith for his leadership and contributions to the organization during his tenure. During this transition, our mission to lead awareness and advocacy efforts to reduce gambling harm remains our top priority, and we are confident in the team we have in place to seamlessly carry out this vital work.”
For her part, Green said: “Having guided several organizations through periods of change, I appreciate that maintaining operational excellence and mission focus are paramount during transitions. NCPG’s work in reducing gambling-related harm is too important to pause. The dedicated staff, committed board, and engaged stakeholders will continue driving essential programs and advocacy efforts forward while we chart the organization’s next chapter.”
The Board of Directors will conduct a national search to identify a permanent Executive Director of the NCPG later this year.
