One-year terms were approved for other positions. Dan Savage was re-elected AGEM’s first vice president. He is chief administration officer of U.S.-based gaming and lottery supplier Scientific Games Corp.

David Lucchese, executive vice president for games at Everi Holdings Inc – formerly Global Cash Access Holdings Inc – was selected for a new term as second vice president at AGEM. Everi is a casino gaming equipment and payment solutions provider.

Other re-elected officers included: secretary – Mark Dunn (executive vice president and general counsel at Aristocrat Leisure Ltd); treasurer – Tom Nieman (vice president of sales and marketing at JCM Global – also known as JCM America Corp); and vice president of government relations – Steven DiMasi (vice president of global government relations at IGT Plc).

The election included the appointment of two co-general counsels. They are Harper Ko (re-elected), deputy general counsel for gaming at Scientific Games; and Daron Dorsey, general counsel for North American operations at Ainsworth Game Technology Ltd.
