Robin Medina, Chief Operations Officer of WyoLotto, has been appointed to the National Council on Problem Gambling’s (NCPG) Nominations and Selection Committee. The committee is responsible for overseeing the annual selection of nominations and the election of the board of directors that guides the organization.
In a statement, Jon Clontz, CEO of WyoLotto, expressed pride in Medina’s appointment, noting that her new role highlights the corporation's commitment to responsible gambling.
“Our foundation as a corporation is to manage what we do in a responsible manner for the state of Wyoming," Clontz said. "The selection of Robin to this committee demonstrates that we are leading the way nationally when it comes to promoting responsible gambling and raising awareness of problem gambling."
WyoLotto was also recently accepted into the NCPG and North American State and Provincial Lotteries’ Responsible Gambling Verification Program. The program ensures that the organization educates players, retailers, and the public about responsible gambling and provides resources for those affected by gambling issues.
“Our verification was a major achievement for us, and it is also an achievement for Wyoming. We are now accredited nationally for our efforts to take care of Wyoming when it comes to gambling, and this helps everyone in the state,” Medina said.
She added: “Through these efforts, we have been recognized on a national level, which is why I have been selected for the Nominations and Selection Committee for NCPG. I am very excited and see this as an opportunity to further support our mission.”
