A deputy city attorney for Reno and former employee of Caesars Entertainment will be the next member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
In an appointment announced Wednesday by Gov. Joe Lombardo, Chandeni Sendall replaces Brittnie Watkins, whose four-year term expires at the end of January.
In a statement, Lombardo said Sendall will bring “fresh insight and critical perspective” to the three-member Board that makes recommendations on licensing and other gaming policy matters to the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Since 2015, Sendall has served as deputy city attorney in Reno, practicing in the civil division. Previously she worked in civil and commercial litigation, served as an in-house legal intern for Caesars Entertainment, and clerked for state Supreme Court Justice James W. Hardesty.
Sendall attended the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and was editor-in-chief of the UNLV Gaming Law Journal.
Before her legal career, she worked for several years as an internal auditor for Caesars.
“I’m grateful to Gov. Lombardo for this appointment to serve the state of Nevada,” Sendall said in a statement. “Along with my legal background, I look forward to applying my educational background in economics and my work experience in the gaming industry as I begin my new role at the Nevada Gaming Control Board.”
