The National Council on Problem Gambling Board of Directors on Thursday announced that Executive Director Keith Whyte has left.
“On behalf of the entire board, I want to thank Keith for his leadership and contributions to the organization during his tenure,” NCPG board President Susan Sheridan Tucker said in a statement. “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.”
Nancy Green has been appointed interim Executive Director. Green has extensive association, nonprofit leadership and program experience, and was most recently the interim Executive Director for the American Sustainable Business Network.
“Having guided several organizations through periods of change, I appreciate that maintaining operational excellence and mission focus are paramount during transitions,” Green said. “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 NCPG board will conduct a national search to identify a permanent Executive Director this year.
