“A commitment to diversity in hiring and procurement is a priority for our industry, and this year’s set of winners all share key attributes that make the gaming industry thrive: dedication and commitment to excellence,” said Frank J. Fahrenkopf, CEO of the gaming association.
Following the presentation of awards, winners shared their experiences on working in the gaming industry, and advised other diverse businesses.
