Manager of the Nevada Gaming Control Board is Leaving Post

Sandra Douglass Morgan is resigning as Nevada Gaming Control Board chairwoman and executive director, Gov. Steve Sisolak said yesterday.

Effective 6 November Morgan will step down.

Sisolak said in the immediate future he will confirm replacement.

Morgan would be "sorely missed, but her leadership and willingness to create a dynamic team left the state in a fantastic position to fill the job with another experienced individual", said Sisolak in a statement.

Morgan also released a statement saying that serving for the board was a lifetime honor. Sandra said she quits for a "professional opportunity".

“In the last two years, the Board has ensured that gaming licensees adopted and implemented policies for all types of discrimination and harassment, modernized its regulations to allow cashless wagering at machines and table games, investigated the merger creating the world’s largest casino company, and adopted COVID-19 mitigation measures,”

Sandra Douglass Morgan said in a statement. 

In January 2019 Morgan, a lawyer, took over as chairwoman, succeeding Becky Harris.

Prior to that, she served as the corporate relations chief for AT&T Services Inc. For Southern Nevada and as a trial counsel for what is now MGM Resorts International.

Morgan also worked as the city attorney for North Las Vegas and was the state's first female district attorney.
