Te European Casino Association and UNLV/UNR Executive Development Programmme has announced Cross-Atlantic Partnership with launch of the Gender Diversity Scholarship with the support of the ECA, Clarion Gaming and AGEM
In an effort to promote diversity and best practices in the global gaming industry, the European Casino Association (ECA), Clarion Gaming, and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) have partnered up with the Executive Development Program (EDP) to offer the first-ever Clarion- ECA-AGEM EDP gender diversity scholarship; together, the organizations will award one aspiring female gaming employee aiming to take the step to the next level a full-ride scholarship to EDP - the gaming leadership course that will take place November 10-18 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Currently in its 28th year, EDP is a partnership programme between UNLV International Gaming Institute (IGI) and the University of Nevada, Reno College of Business and Extended Studies. Te program is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for prospective gaming executives to explore new industry ideas, leadership strategies, and an opportunity to network with other gaming professionals from around the globe.
By creating and awarding this scholarship to a female
talent aspiring to the highest executive levels, these partners in gaming are demonstrating their support of industry diversity. Te recent scholarship
announcement coincides with the publication of an academic paper from UNLV IGI researchers Toni Repetti and Shekinah Hoffman. Te full paper, which examines gender disparity in both commercial and Native American casinos in the United States, shows a significant gap in women’s leadership roles in casinos - particularly in departments like maintenance, IT, security, operations, and food and beverage.
UNLV IGI’s executive director Bo Bernhard says, “It’s research like this, funded by IGI research fellowships, that demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive leadership future. It also points to the significance of EDP in helping hundreds of female leaders achieve their career goals. Te EDP team is proud to work with Clarion, the ECA, and AGEM on this important global conversation about the importance of diversity of thought in an increasingly diverse and globalizing gaming world.”
Kate Chambers, Managing Director of Clarion Gaming, commented, “Tis is a really exciting development and one that is just so important for the industry. Trough our events, we have featured educational initiatives on diversity and inclusion that support, inspire and influence the development of women in the gaming and lottery industries - so I am proud of
