MGM Board Member Resigns

Former U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig resigned from MGM Mirage’s board of directors on October 7 after 19 years with the company. It is unclear why the former secretary of state decided to leave the company.

“We are tremendously honored that Gen. Haig has played a key role in the direction of our company for the past 19 years,” MGM Mirage Chairman and CEO Jim Murren said in a statement.

“His knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in the success and development of MGM Mirage and we are deeply indebted to him for his contributions to our company.”

Haig is a retired general with a wealth of government experience who later became chairman of Worldwide Associates, Inc., a consulting company.
