Kirk Hendrick didn’t waste time after Gov. Joe Lombardo appointed him chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board in January 2023 to resolve several matters that had been plaguing the board.
Only a few insiders knew at the time that he accepted the position for just two years.
“I had my own little private consulting company, and so I was semiretired,” said Hendrick, a former chief deputy attorney general, sports law attorney and top executive with Ultimate Fighting Championship.
“I believed I could make a difference for the state and such a vital industry,” Hendrick said.
Hendrick announced his departure in January, saying he would remain on the job until the legislative session ended in June. His last day is Friday.
