| Greetings!
As
2013 draws to a close, IAGR expresses its gratitude to the Membership
for another wonderful year in our growth as an Association.
Many
accomplishments and milestones were achieved including a significant
increase in our Membership, the launch of IAGR's Knowledge Share Groups
and a successful annual conference in Oslo, Norway. Comments received
over the past few weeks indicate that 90% of the attendees were very satisfied with the event, and 100%
would recommend other regulators to join future IAGR conferences. This
is a remarkable affirmation of the work of the IAGR, and I look forward
to Philadelphia 2014 when we will gather again next year.
We have two informational items to share with you. The December 2013 Newsletter edition is now available HERE . The newsletter highlights IAGR's activities over the past year as well as some new features that you may look forward to in 2014.
In addition, I am happy to present the full report of the 3rd Annual Singapore Symposium on Casino Regulation and Crime HERE (there’s
a summary within the newsletter). This event was jointly held by the
Casino Regulatory Authority and the Singapore Police Force with a focus
on the increasing attention given to Asia's growing gaming industry. If
you’re holding or have held similar events in your jurisdiction, please
feel free to share them with me so that I can also help inform our
membership of the latest developments around the world.
As
part of our efforts to continually improve the organisation, the Board
of Trustees will be sending to you early next year a form seeking your
feedback on how we can improve IAGR, and also to seek your inputs and
ideas for the Philadelphia conference. The Board and I are committed to
actively seek your feedback on these matters because this is OUR
organisation, and every member has a role to play to make IAGR the
leader in gaming regulation. We welcome your feedback as we look to our
future in the year ahead.
On behalf of the Board, we would like to wish all our members a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead for one and all!
Peet Meng LAU IAGR President
